Rehab clinics fined thousands over false insurance claims

Three Toronto-area rehabilitation clinics have been found guilty of submitting false insurance claims in a multimillion-dollar collision scam. The charges, laid by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario under the Insurance Act, stem from investigations into a staged collision ring dubbed Project Whiplash by Toronto Police in 2012. The ring allegedly orchestrated or fabricated accidents, then filed fraudulent insurance claims for vehicle damage and bodily harm.
