  • This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of a conspiracy in Chicago that was orchestrated by several attorneys to stage "sudden stop" car accidents and collect millions in insurance money. It does not appear that there were any fatalities or criminal charges in the real case, but the participants in the conspiracy were sued for more than $9 million by the insurer.

Quotes[]

Carmichael: "Petrie's painted himself as a cross between Robin Hood and Cesar Chavez. There's bound to be four or five blue collar types who are going to be sympathetic. These guys have an answer for everything."

McCoy: "We should make sure his performance backfires. Let's look through some of their more serious injury cases, maybe we can find some little people who aren't so greatful."
