SUMMARY:Implications and Analysis of the J&J Lawsuit: What Employers and Plan Sponsors Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:A recent lawsuit has created a new wave of threats for group benefit plan sponsors that has broad-reaching implications. In the suit\, a benefit plan member has sued their employer\, Johnson & Johnson (J&J)\, alleging they breached their ERISA duty of prudence and the duty to act solely in the interest of the plan in selecting its PBM when other less costly arrangements were available (including pass-through options and specialty drug carve-out vendors). The alleged harm is the higher costs of drugs to the ERISA plan and to plan participants. This case is expected to be the first in a possible wave of similar litigation against employers alleging a breach of fiduciary duty due to the self-funded ERISA plan allegedly overpaying for services. \nDuring this webinar\, we will provide employers and plan sponsors with insights into the case\, including: \n\nThe implications of the lawsuit\nAnalysis of the case and potential impact on employers and plan sponsors\nRecommended best practices for group health plans\nNext steps to consider

There have been numerous cases where victims and their families have taken property owners and operators to court for damages\, as seen with the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting\, 2017 Mandalay Bay hotel shooting\, and the most recent 2023 shooting in a dance studio in Monterey Park. While nothing can entirely prevent workplace violence\, there are safety measures that businesses and institutions can take to prepare for the unspeakable. \nJoin us to hear our experts discuss: \n\nThe liability for criminal acts of third parties\nWays to transfer the risk\, including contracts with third parties and procurement of insurance\nRisk management practices to mitigate the risk\n\nClick here to register for the seminar.
