Defendant Admits to Role in Staged Automobile Accident Ring
In a shocking turn of events, Yoisler Herrera-Enriquez, a 31-year-old massage therapist from Wyoming, Michigan, has pled guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud related to a staged automobile accident ring that operated in West Michigan from 2012 to 2015.
The ring, which was made up of three therapy clinics in Michigan, including Revive Therapy Center and HH Rehab Center in Wyoming, and Renue Therapy Center in Lansing, recruited and paid cash to individuals to stage automobile accidents and obtain police reports so that automobile insurance claims could be opened with their insurance companies.
Herrera-Enriquez and others then told the accident participants what symptoms to present to a physician affiliated with the ring, so that she would sign a prescription for physical therapy. The accident participants would then seek unnecessary physical therapy treatment with Herrera-Enriquez and others at the clinics.
Typically, after a few therapy sessions, the accident participants would sign blank therapy treatment forms that would be signed by Herrera-Enriquez or other massage therapists to make it appear as if the accident participants were obtaining treatment when they truly were not.
The therapy clinics then used the treatment forms to send false insurance claims through the United States mail to automobile insurance companies for therapy treatment that was either not necessary or not actually provided.
Herrera-Enriquez faces up to 20 years’ imprisonment and will be ordered to pay restitution to the automobile insurance companies that were defrauded.
This is the fifth individual to plead guilty in the case, following in the footsteps of Gustavo Acuna-Rosa, 29, Eduardo Pardo-Oiz, 34, Dolis Rojas-Lopez, 31, and Yosvany Gonzalez-Duran, 41.
