NOTICE OF A CLASS ACTION
If you are a legally blind individual who visited a Labcorp Patient Service Center with a Labcorp Express Self-Service kiosk in California between January 29, 2018 and the present, your rights may be affected by an ongoing class action litigation.
Note: This Notice is directed only to persons meeting the Social Security Administration's definition of legal blindness.
A federal Court authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
A lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The lawsuit is known as Luke Davis, et al. v. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Case No.: 2:20-cv-00893-FMO-KS
The lawsuit asserts that Defendant Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (“Labcorp” or “Defendant”) discriminates against those who are legally blind because Labcorp’s Patient Service Centers (“PSCs”) use touchscreen kiosks for self-service check-in that are inaccessible to the legally blind—i.e., those who are legally blind cannot use the kiosks unless they have assistance from a sighted person. The lawsuit asserts that Labcorp’s conduct violates both the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and California Unruh Act.
In October 2017, Labcorp began introducing check-in kiosks at PSC locations and, by August 2018, 92% of Labcorp’s PSCs were equipped with a kiosk.
The District Court certified a California Unruh Act statutory damages class of “[a]ll legally blind individuals who visited a LabCorp patient service center with a LabCorp Express Self-Service kiosk in California during the applicable limitations period, and who, due to their disability, were unable to use the LabCorp Express Self-Service kiosk."
The Court has not decided whether Labcorp is liable for any alleged wrongdoing.
Labcorp denies the Plaintiffs’ allegations and has asserted defenses to the Plaintiffs’ claims.
This notice’s purpose is to inform members of the California certified class (“California Class”) about the certification of the class and of their opportunity to opt out of that class, if they choose to do so. n
