Welcome to the Raines v. U.S. Healthworks Medical Group - Settlement Website
- A job applicant for a paid position who was required to submit to a "basic" 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.
- The Court has granted preliminary approval of a class action settlement (the “Settlement”) in the lawsuit. Because your legal rights are affected by the Settlement, you have a choice to now:
