Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Quest Diagnostics misclassified medical-specimen couriers as independent contractors while directing and controlling their daily transportation activities.
What Workers Report
Workers report:
- Delivering blood, urine, pathology, and other laboratory specimens for Quest Diagnostics.
- Following fixed pickup windows and delivery deadlines.
- Completing chain-of-custody documentation.
- Using personal vehicles to complete delivery routes.
- Paying for fuel, maintenance, insurance, tolls, and other operating expenses.
- Following detailed handling and transportation requirements.
- Working long hours without overtime compensation.
Why Workers Should Be Concerned
Couriers transporting medical specimens often perform highly regulated work subject to detailed company requirements. Workers who are treated as independent contractors despite significant company control may have been denied overtime wages, expense reimbursement, and other legal 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

- You worked as a specimen courier for Quest Diagnostics.
