Auto Collision Ring Arrests

Three suspects were arrested and charged with 28 felony counts after an investigation of a staged auto collision ring.
Attorney Robert Belshaw, Solomon Davis, and Timothy Quinn, M.D., are being held on charges that include insurance fraud, grand theft, conspiracy, failure to file income tax, and money laundering.

The 18-month investigation by CDI and other agencies in Los Angeles, have linked suspects to a crime group that allegedly staged numerous collisions from 1999 to 2002.

Participants of these staged collisions would allegedly locate a victim, pull in front of the insured driver abruptly apply the brakes, causing the victim to crash into the suspect’s vehicle. Most of the alleged victims were treated at Total Medical Health Care and were represented by Belshaw’s law office.

Davis is the office administrator for Belshaw’s law office and the owner of Total Medical Health Care. Davis, a non-attorney, maintains a law office within Total Medical Health Care. Suspects reportedly brought cases to Davis and claimants were required to complete forms and then sign for treatment. The claimants visited Total Medical Health Care anywhere from two to eight times, but the clinic then allegedly billed the insurance companies for as many as 32 visits. Claimants supposedly requested an advance on the money they expected to receive from the insurance companies. Davis would then allegedly issue a check to the claimant often charging a $100 check-cashing fee and then bilk the claimants out of the rest of the insurance money due them.

Bail is set at $1,000,000 for Davis, $200,000 for Belshaw, and $30,000 for Quinn.
