Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro Appointed Co-Lead Counsel on Behalf of General Motors ERISA Plan Participants

May 13, 2005 | View Case Page

Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro has been appointed co-lead counsel on behalf of General Motors ERISA plan participants and their beneficiaries. Plaintiffs allege that General Motors and other plan fiduciaries imprudently managed the plan's assets, causing employee-owners to incur great losses.

The case concerns two General Motors ERISA Plans - the Personal Savings Plan for Hourly Employees, and the Savings-Stock Purchased Program for Salaried Employees - both holding large amounts of General Motors stock. Plaintiffs claim that despite General Motors' financial problems and the companies plummeting shares, GM and plan fiduciaries ignored these troubles, relying on false projections to mask the extent of the company's financial woes.

The plaintiffs also claim that the defendants should have acted to protect the ERISA plans and its participants from the losses they incurred.
