411 Pain is one of the most misleading forms of legal advertising that takes advantage of consumers. Their ads consistently misinform, mislead, and otherwise provide deceptive or false information. It's not uncommon for an individual who contacts 411 pain to actually end up OWING 411 PAIN MONEY!

One of many individuals mislead by 411 Pain Mr. Sohan:
Sohan assumed he could be eligible to receive $10,000 or "something like that." So the guys decided to give it a shot. "411-PAIN, I hear it all the time," Sohan says. He figured that a big company with a massive ad campaign must be legitimate. "If I see it on TV, it's somewhere I could trust to go to."Yet Sohan never received $10,000 like the ad touted. Instead, he unwittingly served as a pipeline, sending his insurance benefit money right into the pockets of chiropractors and lawyers from the 1-800-411-PAIN Referral Service. Before long, he ran up a $15,000 medical bill. Now, he and Rodriguez have filed a class-action lawsuit to help themselves and others who say they were tricked by 411-PAIN.
Based on their investigation of the company, Sohan's lawyers believe that 411-PAIN, which calls itself a "medical and legal referral service," has a formula for collecting PIP money, plus extra cash. First, the hotline refers a client to a chiropractic clinic that will burn through his PIP money by having him visit the doctor nearly every day, undergoing multiple treatments. The doctors may even inflate the severity of the diagnosis, saying the client's injuries are so serious that they go beyond the $10,000 PIP coverage. They will charge the patient, say, $5,000 more than the PIP limit, thereby saddling him with a medical debt that can be resolved only through a lawsuit.
