Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Lien Settlement Solutions is now equipped to handle Multiple Claimant Projects

In settlements like Asbestos Exposure/Mesothelioma diagnoses, Pharmaceutical Liability, Environmental Exposure, or Single Incident Personal Injury cases (among others), LSS can assist with the case management and compliance of files that may have an obligation to an insurer or provider.  We are able to create a resolution package for projects ranging from 5 – 1,000+individual claimants or beneficiaries.  From pre-screening, intake, reporting and resolution we have developed a process that will save your firm the time and headache of resolving multiple claims with several different potential lien holders. 

Our Project Resolution Program includes:
