Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Labcorp misclassified medical-specimen couriers as independent contractors while exercising substantial control over how specimen pickups, transportation, and deliveries were performed.
What Workers Report
Workers report:
- Transporting blood, tissue samples, biopsies, and other medical specimens for Labcorp.
- Following fixed pickup schedules established by Labcorp.
- Using company-issued manifests and chain-of-custody procedures.
- Maintaining strict temperature-control requirements during transportation.
- Using their own vehicles, fuel, insurance, and equipment.
- Driving hundreds of miles each week without mileage reimbursement.
- Being paid per route or per delivery while receiving no overtime compensation.
Why Workers Should Be Concerned
Medical-specimen transportation requires couriers to follow strict company procedures governing timing, handling, documentation, and delivery. Workers who perform these duties while supplying their own vehicles and equipment may have been improperly classified as independent contractors and denied wages, overtime, and reimbursement protections.
Potential Claims May Include
- Worker misclassification
- Failure to pay minimum wages
- Failure to pay overtime
- Failure to reimburse business expenses
- Wage theft
- Labor protection violations
