The amount of fraud coming to light in Minnesota is alarming. Wearing my MN insurance law hat, I keep coming back to one overlooked area: no-fault auto insurance & the incentives it creates for fraudulent medical & chiropractic claims in the state. Are there any good recent data or studies on this?

Happy New Year from Minnesota Law! Here’s to making more great memories in 2026!

I wrote a lot for @lawfaremedia.org this year. I expect that 2026 will require an equal amount of coverage on executive power, administrative law, and the federal workforce. Happy New Year!
