Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Groves grants an insurance company's and employer's motions to dismiss a disabled inactive employee's amended complaint regarding denied claims. The United States Department of Labor Employee Benefits Security Administration issued demand letters on behalf of the employee identifying multiple incorrectly processed claims. The insurer overturned some, but not all, decisions. The employee requested plan documents from the insurer, received no response, and filed this complaint alleging violation of ERISA for not producing the requested documents. Because the employee has not alleged an injury, she does not have Article III standing. The insurer is not a proper party for the ERISA claim. The employee did not make a written request to the employer for plan documents.
