ERISA Litigation data scraping service.
ERISA lawsuit data, defendant tracking, and compliance monitoring for defense attorneys, fiduciary insurers, and plan governance committees.
The problem.
WHY THIS IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS
ERISA defense attorneys, fiduciary liability insurers, and plan governance committees need to track ERISA litigation activity: new filings, case outcomes, defendant patterns, and emerging legal theories. This data informs defense strategy, insurance pricing, and compliance decisions.
For fiduciary liability insurers, ERISA litigation history is a primary underwriting variable that is systematically underutilized because the data is difficult to compile at scale. When pricing a fiduciary liability policy for an employer-sponsored retirement plan, the underwriter needs to know whether that employer has prior ERISA claims, what type of claims they were, what the outcomes were, and whether the plan's current design features match profiles associated with higher litigation frequency. Excessive fee lawsuits have followed a recognizable pattern: large plans with high-cost investment options and no evidence of a documented review process. If a fiduciary liability underwriter can screen a submission against the litigation history of plans with similar asset levels and provider relationships, they can price the risk more accurately than an underwriter relying only on the application form. The structured ERISA litigation dataset I extract supports that kind of systematic pre-submission screening.
Plan governance committees at large employers use ERISA litigation data for a different purpose: benchmarking. Understanding what kinds of claims have been brought against plans with similar design features helps committees evaluate whether their own investment menu, fee structure, and review process creates meaningful exposure. That is due diligence that good governance requires, and it is easier to conduct when the litigation data is structured and queryable rather than scattered across court dockets.
This service provides structured ERISA litigation data. Check whether a company has active ERISA litigation, track defendants and case types, and monitor new filings as they appear. The ScrapeBase API at scrapebase.io has ERISA endpoints for self-serve access.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Active and historical ERISA lawsuits by defendant, case type (excessive fees, breach of fiduciary duty, prohibited transactions), damages claimed, court jurisdiction, case status, and outcomes where available. For each case the record also includes the plaintiff law firm, which is useful for tracking which plaintiff firms are most active in a specific claim type or industry.
Yes. The Company Check tier screens a list of companies and returns litigation history for each. This is commonly used for fiduciary liability insurance underwriting and plan governance compliance reviews. The output includes case count, active versus resolved status, claim types, and damages claimed, giving underwriters the data points they need to make a coverage decision without manually searching court records for each submission.
Monthly monitoring captures new ERISA filings as they become available in court records. Alert delivery is within the monitoring cycle, typically covering filings that appeared in the prior 30 days.
Yes. The dataset classifies each case by claim type, including excessive fee claims, breach of fiduciary duty, prohibited transaction allegations, and imprudent investment selection. This allows defense attorneys and insurers to track shifts in litigation theory over time and identify which claim types are growing in frequency within specific industries or plan size ranges.
Yes. The defendant analysis tier maps which companies appear as defendants across multiple cases, which law firms are bringing the most claims, and whether the same plan design features appear repeatedly across unrelated defendants. This is used by defense counsel building industry-wide context for litigation strategy and by insurers modeling correlated risk exposure across their book.
Company check starts at $199 for up to 500 companies. Monitoring starts at $499 per month.
