Uber’s Lawsuit Hits Los Angeles: The California RICO Case That Could Reshape Injury Law
What HH Law Firm Clients and the Community Need to Know About Uber’s Latest Legal Strategy
Just months after shaking the legal world with a RICO lawsuit filed in New York, Uber Technologies, Inc. has done it again—this time right here in California. On July 21, 2025, Uber filed a federal lawsuit in the Central District of California, alleging a fraudulent enterprise involving some of the most recognizable personal injury law firms in Los Angeles.
The new defendants?
Downtown LA Law Group
The Law Offices of Jacob Emrani
Dr. Greg Khounganian and GSK Spine
Radiance Surgery Center
The allegations paint a troubling picture: inflated medical bills, unnecessary surgeries, and secret side deals between attorneys and medical providers—designed not to help injured people, but to drive up settlements and attorney profits.
Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on July 21, 2025, the complaint spans 52 pages and names several prominent L.A.-based law firms and medical providers. Read the full complaint here.
Why This Matters for California Injury Victims
At HH Law Firm, we fight for real victims—not exaggerated claims. Uber’s legal actions signal a major shift in how rideshare injury claims will be handled:
More aggressive corporate defenses
Tighter scrutiny of medical care
Greater risk of RICO counterclaims for unethical firms
As Hani A. Habbas warned in his April 2025 OC Lawyer article, rideshare companies are no longer quietly settling questionable claims. This California case confirms it: they are litigating hard, and they are naming names.
