Thomas E. Fraysse

Thomas Fraysse represents victims of fraudulent practices and schemes in actions based on common law fraud, California’s Insurance Frauds Prevention Act, qui tam or whistleblower cases, and state and federal False Claims Acts. His cases have involved a broad spectrum of defendants, including doctors, chiropractors, corporate officers and directors, lawyers, hospitals, clinics, management companies, medical device manufacturers, distributors, pharmacists, pharmaceutical companies, and automotive repair shops, among others. His favorite quote on fraud comes from a California Supreme Court case, which, ironically, did not involve fraud: “When profit is involved, the ingenuity of man spawns limitless varieties of unfairness.”

Representing clients in high exposure and complex civil litigation cases in the areas of fraud, unfair business practices, catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, and mass tort, Tom’s clients range from individuals to Fortune 500 companies. He believes in the concept of justice for all and strives to ensure that everyone has access to the court system.

With more than three decades of trial experience, Tom maximizes recovery for clients through pragmatic and strategically planned litigation. He enjoys trying civil cases before juries and firmly believes that their imperiled jury system is essential to the concept of justice for all.

Tom has litigated more than 2,000 matters, represented parties and witnesses in more than 100 trials, and has handled hundreds of arbitrations and mediations. His experience and skill in trying cases has resulted in successful outcomes.

While he focuses on healthcare fraud, Tom has successfully handled numerous catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death claims and actions, actions based on injury or death due to exposure to asbestos-containing products, and product liability, negligence, premises liability and dangerous condition of public property cases. In addition, he represents totally disabled individuals in insurance bad faith cases against disability insurers for wrongfully withholding payment of insurance benefits.
