MSR’s $4.9m Home Attendant Wage Theft Settlement Approved

After 12 years of hard fought litigation, including a trip to the New York State Court of Appeals (the state’s highest court), MSR is thrilled to announce that the settlement in Andryeyeva v. New York Health Care, Inc., Index No. 14309/2011 (Kings County), was approved this morning by the Honorable Larry D. Martin, Justice of the Supreme Court. The settlement will provide compensation to nearly 3,000 home attendants who were deprived of their lawful wages despite performing the important, difficult, and thankless work of caring for the elderly and infirm. The case was litigated from start to finish by MSR Partner Jason Rozger, who is a leading litigator and champion of home attendants throughout New York.
