Protecting Healthcare Workers and Patients

Trujillo & Winnick LLP represents healthcare professionals and patients in civil litigation arising from workplace misconduct, discrimination, retaliation, and civil rights violations in California healthcare settings.

Healthcare Employment

Discrimination and Harassment

Healthcare workers are entitled to the same employment protections as workers in any industry. We evaluate claims of discrimination based on race, national origin, sex, disability, age, or other protected characteristics, as well as harassment claims in hospital and clinical settings.

Retaliation for Protected Activity

Healthcare workers who report patient safety concerns, workplace violations, or regulatory non-compliance may be protected by California and federal whistleblower statutes. Adverse employment action following protected reporting may give rise to retaliation claims.

Physician and Provider Employment Disputes

Disputes involving hospital employment agreements, medical staff privileges, peer review actions, and related employment matters for licensed healthcare professionals.

Patient Civil Rights

California law and federal statutes protect patients from discrimination and certain forms of mistreatment in healthcare settings. We evaluate claims arising from discriminatory denial of care, civil rights violations in institutional settings, and related matters.

Confidentiality

Healthcare litigation frequently involves sensitive medical and personal health information. Trujillo & Winnick LLP handles these matters with strict confidentiality and in compliance with applicable privacy laws.

Healthcare litigation is complex. This page is for general informational purposes only. Each matter is evaluated on its specific facts. Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes.
