Today, employee benefits, such as health insurance, 401(k) plans, disability insurance, etc. play an even more important role in our day-to-day lives. Most aspects of employee benefits are governed by a federal law known as "ERISA." ERISA, more formally known as The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, requires that employers who offer their employees benefits and pensions conform to some basic legal requirements. Sometimes employers or their designees, like insurance companies, HMOs or investment firms, do not follow the rules set by ERISA. If your ERISA rights have been violated, you may have recourse under ERISA's enforcement provisions.

Moukawsher & Walsh, LLC is well equipped to represent individuals and groups, both small and large, in the diverse array of claims to which ERISA applies. These claims include:

• Claims for 401 k losses,
• Claims for payment of employee benefits due to you,
• Claims for misrepresentations by employers regarding your benefits options,
• Claims against HMOs and insurance companies for wrongful denials of benefits,
• Claims for improper denial of COBRA benefits,
• Claims for benefits discrimination,
• Claims for fraud, theft and mismanagement of pension funds and 401(k) accounts,
• Claims for Long Term Disability (LTD) insurance and disability claims, and
• Claims regarding cash balance plans.
