North Carolina Class Action: Jerry W. Ray v. AdaptHealth Corp.

We have announced two important milestones in the Jerry W. Ray v. AdaptHealth Corp. class action lawsuit, which alleges that AdaptHealth, acting through its "Family of Companies," engaged in improper billing and debt collection activities against sick, elderly, or otherwise vulnerable North Carolina residents. “We hope that today’s announcement reaches all North Carolina consumers who have been harmed by AdaptHealth’s alleged billing and collection practices,” said Kilpatrick Partner Chad Hansen. “No one should have to go through the ordeal that Jerry experienced for over a year and a half. The entire Kilpatrick team is proud to be a part of this case and we look forward to continuing representing Jerry and those who come forward with similar stories.” Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eEhBtZdn Visit the website for more information: https://lnkd.in/eBUQSzQD

"Longtime Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton contractor Jerry Ray experienced COVID-19 as many Americans did—the virus put the 76-year-old in the hospital, needing oxygen. But his familiarity with a Big Law firm allowed him to eventually stop being unnecessarily billed for medical equipment and, eventually, to help those who suffered the same fate as him. Ray said he agreed to be the lead plaintiff in a potential federal class action lawsuit filed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, after he and the firm’s lawyers found durable medical equipment supplier AdaptHealth Corp. and its subsidiaries allegedly harassed Ray and other former customers—many elderly or medically fragile—for payment for months despite them not owing anything.” Read the full Daily Report | ALM story here: https://lnkd.in/eGBFx9Y7 For more information about the case, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eBUQSzQD

Ray and a proposed class of North Carolina consumers against AdaptHealth (which does business through a variety of companies) who, like Mr. Ray, received “deceptive bills and notices in a wrongful attempt to collect debt that was not actually owed.” Read the article: https://lnkd.in/eMMkjwGm
