Member Quote: I see our role as notice and claims administrator as an essential element of providing access to justice in the truest sense of the phrase, which in large part, is what the funding mechanism is designed to do. By notifying and then verifying claimants, we make sure that the monies are distributed to as many legitimate claimants as possible. We also assure the justice or judge that all reasonable steps are being taken to reach claimants, which is of heightened importance in an opt-out situation since claimants will be bound by the judgment whether they see the notice of settlement or not. We work with funders to help estimate the take up rates and redemption rate as part of their due diligence.
