ERISA Settlement Enforced, Fees Awarded -- Even After the Claimant Tried to Back Out
Roberts Disability Law 
Aug. 28, 2025 "Kimberly admitted she initialed the distribution terms and didn't claim fraud or any mutual legal mistake. Her objections didn't challenge the substance of the deal -- just side issues. So the court found the agreement binding.... Once material terms are clear, they're enforceable, ... The court didn't hesitate to sanction Kimberly via fee-shifting.... Lawyers aren't helpless just because they withdraw -- they're still owed fair compensation under quantum meruit." [Bennett v. The Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., No. 23-11070 (E.D. Mich. Aug. 26, 2025)] MORE >> |
