The Supreme Court has denied certiorari in Treasurer, Trustees of Drury v. Goding, ending the long-running effort by an ERISA health plan to impose a duty on a plaintiff’s law firm to reimburse the plan for medical benefits paid to the plaintiff. The plan argued that, after obtaining a settlement from the tortfeasor, the law firm owed a duty to reimburse the plan for medical benefits provided to the plaintiff, rather than remit the proceeds to the firm’s client. The Eighth Circuit rejected such a duty. 692 F.3d 888 (8th Cir. 2012), reh. and reh. en banc denied, Nov. 12, 2012. The Supreme Court denied review on March 25, 2013. CCL's Jeff White represented plaintiff and his law firm.
