Employees in healthcare sector positions work tirelessly to save lives. Sometimes, hours worked may hit 70 or more. In some cases, workers take naps in their vehicles only to work again several hours later. For all employment crimes against healthcare workers, there’s a Riverside healthcare law firm ready to fight.
We are Rager & Yoon – Employment Lawyers, skilled in litigating for employees in the healthcare sector.
Have you witnessed malpractice, reported it, and were fired because the doctor and hospital were penalized? Not getting paid for hours worked past 40 per week? You may be entitled to compensation.
We Battle Kaiser Permanente
Rager & Yoon – Employment Lawyers has handled numerous complaints, even winning multiple million-plus dollar suits against the largest privately held medical giant Kaiser Permanente. Notorious for failing to comply with EEOC and similar laws, KP often abuses power by firing employees erroneously. Because Kaiser is large, local, and known for mistreating employees, they’re easily our larger healthcare litigation focus. Employees bring claims of hours being cut, hostility from upper management, terminations that lack merit, even whistleblowing retaliation. If an egregious act can happen to employees, it usually does at KP. But we go after any healthcare facility, private practice, or home healthcare provider who violates the California Fair Housing and Employment Act, EEOC, and other federally-mandated employment codes. Healthcare law gets complex, so we never suggest attacking major firms without an attorney present to assist. Rager & Yoon – Employment Lawyers prides itself on professionalism in healthcare legal representation.How Our Firm Helps Healthcare Workers
