Daniel J. Carey, II, D.C., et al. v. Craig Heligman, M.D.

Issues include whether CSX and its medical director defamed two chiropractors by requesting that the Railroad Retirement Board, three insurance companies, and state chiropractic licensing authorities investigate them for possible benefits fraud after CSX’s medical director noticed that the chiropractors submitted an unusually high number of medical leave forms on behalf of CSX employees following CSX’s announcement of layoffs at the employees’ facility; and (2) whether CSX and its medical director tortiously interfered with the chiropractors’ businesses by ceasing to accept medical leave forms from the chiropractors due to suspected benefits fraud. Oral arguments heard on April 14, 2026.
