What happened

A proposed class action against AMPAM Parks Mechanical, Inc., apparently concerning employee benefit plan issues under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and a putative class, have moved for preliminary approval of a class action settlement. The docket does not specify the exact alleged ERISA violations, but they appear to relate to employment benefits.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
