MIAMI – A Miami law firm has filed a class-action suit against a Miami medical center and doctor over allegations they sent unsolicited faxes.

Law Offices of Timothy Carl Blake PA filed a complaint on behalf of all others similarly situated on July 25 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami Division against Gila Medical Center Inc. and Dr. Lilia Rodriguez Ables alleging violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on June 28, it received an unsolicited advertisement through its telephone facsimile machine from the defendants.
