ERISA Class Actions

In ERISA litigation, plaintiffs often file motion for class certification based on the arguments that common evidence can be used to demonstrate that all proposed class members were harmed by the defendant’s alleged harmful conduct and that a common methodology can be used to calculate damages for each of the proposed class members.
