In an unpublished opinion, the New Jersey Appellate Division consolidated two back-to-back appeals arising from a 2013 complaint filed by Allstate against a group of medical defendants which alleged a number of violations of the Insurance Fraud Prevention Act—one of which addressed a firm’s motion to be relieved as counsel in the case.

Allstate claimed that the medical defendants “defrauded Allstate out of millions of dollars in insurance claims,” according to the opinion. Allstate claimed that the defendants, South Jersey Health and Wellness and others, violated the act by operating under an unlawful structure of having a chiropractor in ownership and control of the practice rather than plenary-licensed physicians.
