Case ID: 4127 | Insurance | 01/03/2005
A class action lawsuit has been filed in the Northern District Court of Oklahoma against Epeo Link, Inc. for violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). ERISA is a federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established pension and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans. Class members seek a declaratory judgment that they are entitled to relief under ERISA, money damages, injunctive relief, punitive damages, attorney's fees and costs of the litigation.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that the action is for losses and damages to an employee benefit plan based on breaches of fiduciary duty owed to the plan for restitution and other relief to participants and beneficiaries for breaches of fiduciary duty, for the appointment of a new trustee for the plan, for injunctive relief, for certain state-law based claims. More specifically, the complaint alleges the\at the plan is a multiple employer arrangement known as Epeolink, Inc. Group Accident and Health ERISA Medical Care Plan and the Epeolink Employee Welfare Benefit Trust, that no independent actuary was consulted for the purpose of developing a rate structure for the plan's monthly premiums, and that the company mismanaged the plan resulting in the non payment of claims and other damages. The complaint addresses two proposed classes. Proposed Class One: The first proposed class is comprised of all participants who obtained medical and/or health related benefits offered by Epeo and who have unpaid claims incurred from April 21, 2001 to December 31, 2003 which should have been paid by Epeo. Proposed Class Two: The second proposed class is comprised of all employers similarly situated to the Envirosolve Entities who suffered damages resulting from violations of common and statutory law.

Other Insurance Cases of Interest Many individuals have additional coverage with their car insurance called a rental car rider policy. This policy insures that if you are in an accident and your car is in the shop being repaired, the insurance company will pay for your rental car. It has recently come to the attention of Kahn Gauthier Swick that individuals who purchased State Farm Auto Insurance with the Rental Car Rider may not have received all of the benefits under the policy. A federal court in Louisiana has certified the class in a class action filed against Imperial Adjustment Company and Equifax Credit Information Services alleging that Equifax gave Imperial unrestricted access to the personal credit reports of approximately 150 class members. Consumers see offerings for disability protection plans all the time. From mortgage companies to credit card companies, millions of consumers are buying these plans. In essence, these insurance plans, in return for a fixed monthly fee, are supposed to pay your mortgage or other bills while you are disabled. But in many instances, it doesn't work as hoped. Cheryl Reynolds filed a class action suit against Kansas City-based H&R Block claiming the business defrauded consumers seeking instant income tax refunds. The debate about when a child's life begins has taken a new turn.

Medicare is a benefit that most Americans work a lifetime to receive.

The action asks the court to make the government to pay back seniors in the four suburban counties for premiums they paid into the Medicare Plus Choice program since January 1, 2001. |
