Several investigations have indicated that more than one-half of the lawsuits growing out of traffic accidents reveal conclusive evidence of fraud, Jdany of the accidents are faked by organized rings which operate in a number of cities with the aid of “professional victims” who can simulate various types of injuries. The racket is also carried on by shyster lawyers who employ "runners", their job being to immediately rush to the scene of the accident or hospital and get the victim to sign a retainer agreement employing the lawyer I<- « who invariably gets most of the damages recovered. *
