Litigation - ERISA Attorneys

Understanding ERISA Litigation

ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) governs employee benefit plans, including 401(k)s, pensions, and health and welfare plans. This legislation sets standards for how these plans are administered, ensuring participants receive the benefits they’ve earned. However, disagreements can and do arise. When a participant’s claim for benefits is denied or improperly handled under ERISA, it can create significant financial and legal challenges. That's where our experienced attorneys come in.

What is ERISA Litigation? ERISA litigation involves disputes concerning the interpretation, administration, or enforcement of ERISA benefit plans. These cases can be incredibly complex, often involving intricate ERISA provisions, federal regulations, and state laws. We handle a wide range of ERISA litigation matters, including:

• Benefit Denial Claims: We represent individuals who have been unfairly denied benefits under their 401(k), pension, or health plan.
• Plan Administration Disputes: We assist participants with disagreements regarding the interpretation of plan documents or the actions of the plan administrator.
• Fiduciary Liability Claims: We defend individuals and institutions who have acted as fiduciaries (trustees or administrators) of ERISA plans and are facing claims for breach of fiduciary duty.
• Coordination of Benefits Issues: We navigate the complexities of coordinating benefits across multiple ERISA plans and other insurance policies.
