A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging HealthSouth Corporation (and affiliated entities) concealed that one of its doctors had a long-term addiction to narcotics that caused him to be incompetent to render medical services.
If you were treated at Arthroscopic & Laser Surgery Center of San Diego LP (or any affiliated entities); SHC San Diego Inc.; HealthSouth Corporation; and/or if you received any surgery or treatment from Gary Losse MD at any time between Jan. 1, 1996 and Dec. 15, 2000, you may be entitled to compensation from the class action settlement.
If approved, this settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit filed in March 2003 by plaintiffs Tim Carroll, Anna Good and Paula Hamma. They accuse the defendants of violating California law by failing to disclose to the public that Gary Losse MD was incompetent to render medical services because of an alleged long-term addiction to narcotics.
The defendants deny that they violated the law but they have agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and uncertainty of ongoing litigation. The HealthSouth class action settlement was preliminarily approved on May 6, 2016.
If you would like to opt out of or object to the HealthSouth class action settlement, you must do so no later than Oct. 25, 2016.

Top Class Actions is not a settlement administrator and does not mail settlement checks. If you are not receiving a response from the settlement administrator, you can try contacting class counsel. Counsel is listed in this article, and can be Googled for contact information. Good luck!
