Training for web-based asbestos claims managers

The Claims Resolution Management Corporation (CRMC) has trained more than 200 professionals from 63 top plaintiff law firms on the use of e-Claims(TM), the first interactive, Web-based electronic claims processing tool for trusts, law firms and other entities handling asbestos and other toxic torts. CRMC has received more than 6,000 asbestos claims through e-Claims since mid-May and expects that law firms will submit 20,000 to 25,000 claims by August. e-Claims is claimed to provide a high level of efficiency and accuracy to claims filing, processing and settlement through decreasing processing delays and costs.
