Welcome to the Raines v. U.S. Healthworks Medical Group - Class Certification Website
If you were subjected to a pre-employment medical examination at a U.S. Healthworks facility in California, a class action lawsuit may affect your rights.
- A job applicant for a paid position who was required to submit to a post-offer, pre-placement medical examination (“PPE”) at a U.S. Healthworks (“USHW”) facility in California has sued USHW. The job applicant alleges that USHW’s medical examination violated California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”) because the medical inquiries were not job-related and consistent with business necessity.
- The Court has allowed the lawsuit to be a class action on behalf of every applicant for a paid position who underwent a post-offer, pre-placement medical examination and was subjected to USHW’s health history questionnaire at a USHW facility in California between October 23, 2017, and December 31, 2018.
- The Court has not decided whether USHW did anything wrong. There is no money available now, and no guarantee there will be. However, your legal rights are affected, and you have a choice to make now:
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS LAWSUIT
DO NOTHING
Stay in this lawsuit. Await the outcome. Give up certain rights.
By doing nothing, you keep the possibility of getting money or benefits that may come from a trial or a settlement. But, you give up any rights to sue USHW separately about the same legal claims in this lawsuit.
ASK TO BE EXCLUDED
Get out of this lawsuit. Get no benefits from it. Keep rights.
If you ask to be excluded and money or benefits are later awarded, you won’t share in those. But, you keep any rights to sue USHW separately about the same legal claims in this lawsuit.
