Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP Files Class Action Against One Call Medical, Inc. for Employee Rights Violations
On July 22, 2025, the Los Angeles-based employment law firm, Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, took significant legal action by filing a class action lawsuit against One Call Medical, Inc. The complaint alleges a range of labor law violations related to the lack of mandatory meal and rest breaks that the company was required to provide for its employees. This legal case highlights important employee rights within the healthcare sector and sheds light on the consequences companies may face when failing to comply with established labor regulations.
Allegations Against One Call Medical, Inc.
The lawsuit claims that One Call Medical, Inc. has not only failed to provide the legally mandated meal and rest periods, but has also neglected to pay minimum and overtime wages, and failed to reimburse job-related expenses. Specifically, the allegations assert that employees often worked shifts exceeding four hours without being granted the required ten-minute breaks, significantly affecting their welfare and compensation.
California labor laws, designed to protect employees, specify that workers should receive adequate rest periods during their shifts. Failing to provide these breaks is not only a violation of the California Labor Code but can also lead to severe civil penalties for the company. As the complaint outlines, these violations are serious and systemic, raising questions about how One Call Medical, Inc. manages its labor practices and the well-being of its employees.
According to the California Wage Order, off-duty rest periods must be given during which employees can be completely relieved of their work duties and free from any obligations imposed by their employer. The firm has indicated that the lack of such breaks violates employee rights, and could potentially result in lost wages and undue stress on workers.
The Legal Process
The class action lawsuit, case number 30-2025-01486347-CU-OE-CXC, is currently pending in the Orange County Superior Court, State of California. As the legal process unfolds, this case could serve as a precedent for other healthcare providers and employers in ensuring compliance with state labor laws.
Efforts to gather more evidence regarding the claims include outreach to affected employees, as Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP aims to conduct interviews and gather extensive testimonies from current and former staff members of One Call Medical, Inc. Understanding the breadth of these alleged workplace violations is crucial for fortifying the case.
