Isaac Harris et al v. Medical Transportation Management, Inc.,

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

If you worked as a driver providing non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services in the District of Columbia under contracts between Medical Transportation Management (MTM) and the District of Columbia, you may have a claim for unpaid wages for time worked.

A court authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

If you were a driver who provided NEMT services in the District of Columbia under contracts between MTM and the District of Columbia from July 13, 2014 to March 15, 2024, you have been part of a class action lawsuit alleging that drivers providing NEMT services were not paid all earnings for time they worked. This suit is in federal court in the District of Columbia.  The name and case number of this suit is Issac Harris et al v. Medical Transportation Management, Inc., Case No. 1:17-cv-01371-APM.

The Plaintiffs’ claims in this case are only against MTM, not the companies who directly employed the drivers; however, MTM may be entitled to recover from those companies any amounts that are deemed owed in the event that it is found liable. The lawsuit alleges that, under D.C. law, MTM is a general contractor to the companies who employ the drivers with respect to such NEMT services and thus legally responsible for any failure by a company for which the drivers worked to pay them wages required by law for such services.  It also alleges that MTM is the joint employer of the drivers for purposes of federal and D.C. wage laws.  MTM denies these allegations.

The Court has ruled that MTM is a general contractor, for purposes of D.C. wage laws, of the company or companies for which you drove NEMT trips in Washington, D.C. under contracts between MTM and the District of Columbia. This means that MTM is responsible if your employer failed to pay you any wages you were owed under D.C. law for time worked as a driver providing NEMT services in the District of Columbia under contracts between MTM and the District of Columbia from July 13, 2014 to March 15, 2024. The Court also ruled that MTM was not a joint employer. This means that MTM is not responsible for any wages you were owed under federal law.  

In the next part of the case, each driver interested in pursuing a claim against MTM for unpaid wages must inform Plaintiffs’ Attorneys identified below of their interest to stay on individually in this action no later than August 23, 2025.

In the next part of the case, the Court will decide if the three Named Plaintiffs and any other drivers who are granted leave to intervene in this action are owed any unpaid wages for time worked as a driver providing NEMT services in the District of Columbia under contracts between MTM and the District of Columbia from July 13, 2014 to March 15, 2024.
