Milberg LLP Files Class Action for Restaurants Overcharged on Workers’ Comp Premiums
The case was filed in
Defendants in the case are insurance companies
Many restaurants provide their employees with meals as a convenience for a charge. The complaint alleges that the insurance companies inflated the workers' compensation insurance premiums by improperly including as "remuneration" the cost of meals paid by employees to the employers.
According to the insurance policies, workers' compensation insurance premiums is based on the amount of remuneration to employees. However, the meal charges which were included by the insurance companies as remuneration does not meet any definition of remuneration, because the meal charges are payments by the employees to the employer.
According to the complaint, this interpretation and application of the insurance policy inflated the remuneration and the premiums paid by restaurants for workers' compensation insurance.
The complaint alleges breaches of the insurance agreement, and unjust enrichment, and hopes to compensate restaurants for their overpayments and to force insurance companies to calculate the premium correctly.
