WERE YOU A PATIENT OF UCLA GYNECOLOGIST DR. JAMES M. HEAPS?
Survivors Only Have Until May 6, 2021 to Act
Have you or a loved one received a Legal Notice of Settlement of Class Action in A.B. et. al. vs. The Regents of the University of California; James Mason Heaps, M.D.?
This federal class-action lawsuit has been brought against Dr. James M. Heaps, a former UCLA Health gynecologist charged with sexual misconduct, and UCLA for its negligence in failing to protect patients from Dr. Heaps.
If you do not respond to this legal notice, you will have consented to being part of the class action against Dr. Heaps and UCLA. This means that, should the suit be resolved favorably, you will be entitled to compensation.
Sadly, the amount of compensation for each participant, or “class member,” is capped and in no way comparable to the trauma experienced by survivors of sexual assault. Survivors can, however, opt out of the class action and bring forth their own civil lawsuits against Dr. Heaps and UCLA — the deadline to do so is May 6, 2021.
This way, survivors have a chance to recover the full compensation they deserve. Join the hundreds of women who have chosen this path to justice and accountability.
Contact KMD Law online today to schedule a risk-free, confidential consultation with an experienced sexual abuse and assault lawyer.

Why File a Civil Lawsuit with Our Firm?
There are many benefits to opting out of the class action & filing an individual lawsuit with our firm.-
The Personalized Care You Deserve
In a class action, the attorneys who represent the "class" do not represent you individually. As a result, you must represent your own interests and navigate the legal process by yourself. When you hire KMD Law to represent you, you will have a dedicated lawyer who is advocating for you every step of the way.
-
The Potential for a Larger Award
While the total dollar figure being paid in the proposed class action may seem large, it must be divided among thousands of women, including some who may not have suffered any abuse or harassment. By hiring KMD Law and filing an individual lawsuit, we may be able to obtain a significantly larger award for you.
-
Experience on Your Side
With KMD Law in your corner, you will have the opportunity to work with an effective and seasoned litigator with decades of jury trial experience. We've handled countless cases involving sexual abuse and harassment, with a long track record of successful results to show for it.
-
There is No Fee Unless We Win
There are no out-of-pocket expenses associated with filing a sexual abuse claim. Our compensation is based on the recovery we obtain, which means there are no fees unless we win your case. It costs you nothing to explore your legal options, so contact us for a free consultation today.
