Court Finds Employer, Not Group Life Insurer, Liable for $314,000 Death Benefit
The Wagner Law Group Link to more items from this source
Sept. 23, 2016

"The court ultimately ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, finding that the employer had breached its fiduciary duty by administering the plan in a way that allowed the employee to believe incorrectly that a certain level of life insurance coverage was in place. As a result, the court ordered the employer, and not the insurer, to pay $314,000, the amount of the supplemental coverage." [Van Loo v. Cajun Operating Co. dba Church's Chicken, No. 14-10604 (E.D. Mich June 6, 2016)]  MORE >>
