California Health Care Retaliation Attorneys

California Health and Safety Code § 1278.5 and the Business & Professions Code, as well as other state and federal laws, protect all health care workers – including doctors - who speak up when they are aware of practices or actions that jeopardize the well-being of patients. If you experience any type of retaliation at the hands of your peers, superiors, hospital administration or a peer review committee after reporting a potential issue, you should seek the advice of a qualified employment law attorney immediately.

Retaliation can come in many different forms.

We work closely with all of our clients to gain a complete understanding of the retaliatory actions they have experienced and the events that preceded them. We will present the strongest possible case in support of your position and pursue the maximum level of damages available for your claim.
