ASBESTOS-RELATED BANKRUPTCY FILINGS have received a great deal of media attention in recent times. While these cases all share certain elements in common, they are far from "cookie cutter" trusts. Claims administrators handling these cases must be intimately familiar with due process law, product identification issues, and medical criteria in order to consistently and accurately apply the guidelines established in Trust Distribution Procedures. Our wealth of knowledge from over two decades in the tort litigation has prepared us well to meet this challenge.
