Longtime Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton contractor Jerry Ray experienced COVID-19 as many Americans did—the virus put the 76-year-old in the hospital, needing oxygen. Ray’s plight with being unnecessarily billed for medical equipment post-COVID-19 has paved the way for potential class action work. His familiarity with a Big Law firm allowed him to stop these charges for himself and aim to help others who faced similar billing issues.
Ray, who had worked as a painting contractor and project manager for the firm in Winston-Salem since the 1990s, stated, “[I said] ‘it’s not worth $27 to fight this—I’ll just pay it and let it stop,’ but it never did.” This continued billing compelled him to take action, leading to Kilpatrick Townsend’s involvement in a proposed class action suit.
