Unfair Health Insurance Surcharges for Lowe’s Employees Who Are Smokers

If you work for Lowe’s and your insurance premium is higher because you use nicotine, your employer may be breaking federal law.

The attorneys at Siri & Glimstad are looking for people who were forced to pay extra on top of their normal premium because they smoke. It’s called a nicotine surcharge, which may be in violation of federal law by discriminating against certain employees based on a “health status-related factor.” In other words, the company is  discriminating against smokers, which employers are not allowed to do.

NOTE: Some health plans offer discounts to employees who do NOT smoke. This litigation is not for those people. We are looking to represent people who smoke and, as a result, have to unfairly pay higher premiums for health insurance through their employers.

The experienced class action and employment legal teams at Siri & Glimstad are investigating possible class action lawsuits against employers who raised health insurance premiums for employees who use nicotine.

There is no obligation to sign with us when you submit an intake form, but please know there are deadlines to file a lawsuit. The attorneys at Siri & Glimstad are offering free consultations for this litigation — we get paid only if we win for you!
