The Superior Court of California authorized this Settlement Website. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
If you are a person who was physically present in California and participated in a conversation that was interpreted by AMN, its employees, contractors, agents, or persons acting on its behalf, between December 4, 2022 to August 7, 2026, this class action settlement may affect your rights.
A Settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit pending in San Diego County Superior Court (“Court”) in Carrero, et al. v. AMN Healthcare, Inc. et al., Case No. 37-2023-00052448-CU-NP-CTL (the “Action”).
Plaintiffs Bertha Carrero and Angelina Lara De Carrero (“Plaintiffs”) filed this lawsuit on behalf of themselves and a proposed class (defined below) claiming that Defendants AMN Healthcare, Inc. and AMN Healthcare Language Services, Inc. (“AMN”) violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act by allegedly monitoring and/or recording language interpretation sessions between patients and their medical providers without notifying them or obtaining prior consent.
- A settlement (“Settlement Agreement”) has been reached with AMN to dismiss all claims with prejudice in exchange for a $4.5 million Settlement Fund. AMN has also issued internal instructions to implement a cessation of monitoring and/or recording interpretation sessions in California until and unless further
procedures are put in place.
