To settle a qui tam suit by a former employee, LexisNexis Risk Solutions and its affiliates have agreed to pay $5.8 million to resolve their liability under the Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Tennessee False Claims Acts.  LexisNexis had signed a contract with law enforcement agencies to access automobile crash reports that they then sold to individuals, insurance companies, and law firms for claims adjustment purposes.  According to the contract, LexisNexis would pay the agencies each time a report was sold; however, it allegedly paid the agencies for the first report only but not for each subsequent report.  AG IL; AG NJ; AG NY; Later Florida settlement
