Legal Proceedings

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved as a defendant in legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company has adequate legal defense on all legal actions, and the results of any such proceedings would not materially impact the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. The Company provides disclosure and records loss contingencies in accordance with the loss contingencies accounting guidance. In accordance with such guidance, the Company establishes accruals for such matters when potential losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a liability of $1,000,000, which represents an amount for an agreed settlement of various class-based claims, both actual and potential, under California state law, as described below.

Stephanie Zamora, Jascha Dlugatch, et al. v. Ambulnz Health, LLC, et al. was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on October 11, 2018, and the complaint alleged wage and hour violations pursuant to California’s Private Attorneys’ General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”). On February 24, 2020, this case was consolidated with Jascha Dlugatch, et. Al. v. Ambulnz Health, LLC (the “Consolidated Complaint”), another lawsuit filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court. On May 6, 2021, the parties attended mediation and settled the claims pled in the Consolidated Complaint on a class-wide and PAGA basis in exchange for a proposed $1,000,000 payment by the defendant parties, inclusive of administrative costs and fees. On September 9, 2022, the Los Angeles Superior Court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement, which was paid in July 2023.
