ERISA, or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, governs different types of employee benefits from employers, other than government and church employers. The statute exists to protect employees who participate in their private employer’s voluntary welfare and pension benefit plans. ERISA sets forth standards that employers and their insurers must comply with when they offer employee benefit programs. For instance, sponsors of those employee benefit plans must provide plan information to employees, and all fiduciaries, such as managers of plans, must adhere to standards of conduct. ERISA establishes minimum standards for private retirement plans, such as pension plans with specific benefits, 401k plans, and employee stock ownership plans. ERISA also covers additional types of employer-sponsored benefit plans, including health, life, and disability insurance plans.
Because ERISA supersedes all other local and state laws relating to a private employer’s denial of benefits and breach of fiduciary duty, you must work with a seasoned legal team. Our attorneys in Charlotte have experience handling disputes involving ERISA rights and benefits, and we will work tirelessly on your behalf to fight to obtain you the maximum possible benefits that you are eligible for under federal law.
ERISA offers employees and former employees of a company many rights that our seasoned Charlotte legal team can help protect.
If your employer or their insurer has denied you access to your rightfully earned funds, our skilled lawyers can help you fight back to get the money that your employer has wrongfully withheld from you. For example, if you are no longer able to work because of a debilitating medical condition, you should be eligible to use your long-term disability payments. If your employer denies you those benefits, we can use our knowledge of ERISA rules and regulations to fight for them.
In addition, we can help you comply with all administrative remedies available under your employer’s ERISA grievance procedure. Our team can help you gather appropriate documentation and other evidence to prove your case in the initial internal appeal process. If those methods are unsuccessful, we can help you proceed with a civil lawsuit against your employer.
Employers and their insurers have a fiduciary duty to manage and administer benefits and plans fairly. If you suspect that your employer’s plan administrator or trustee has mismanaged the funds, charged you excessive fees, or provided you with inadequate or misleading information, our knowledgeable legal team can help you sue for breach of your employer’s fiduciary duty.
Our dedicated attorneys have the skills, deep experience, and legal knowledge to vigorously protect your ERISA rights.
