Mr. Quadrino has once again been invited to speak at the nation's largest forum on disability insurance. The conference is hosted by the American Conference Institute and this year's forum is the 10th annual event. Speakers at these events are drawn from the nations' top law firms that litigate disability law issues. Partners and attorneys at Quadrino Schwartz have been invited to lecture in each of the last 4 years.
This year, Mr. Quadrino will be making a presentation entitled "Claims and Lawsuits by Insurers for Benfits Paid When Fraud is Alleged." Mr. Quadrino, a former prosecutor, has successfully handled numerous claims where fraud was alleged by a disability insurer. In one high profile case, Mr. Quadrino obtained the stunning result of having a judge throw out an improper criminal conviction of an innocent client and then he obtained a large settlement on the client's claim from the disability insurer. In another case, after Mr. Quadrino obtained a jury verdict in favor of the client, a prosecutor was convinced to close his investigation and disband a grand jury that was considering an indictment.
Many insurers have begun to use the technique of asserting a fraud allegation and suing a disabled claimant for a refund of benefits already paid. In addition to this strong-arm tactic, some insurers have used criminal prosecutors as a tool to advance their financial interests. Quadrino Schwartz has been fighting against this tactic, with great success, by exposing the insurer's true motives, demonstrating the legitemacy of their client's claims, and convincing prosecutors to drop investigations that should never have been commenced.
