What Does a Claim Recovery Specialist Do?

Managing your own claim in a class-action settlement can be difficult, complicated, and time-consuming. While hiring a claim recovery specialist is not mandatory, it can benefit your claim and your business in many ways. Read on to discover what a claim recovery specialist can do for you.

What is a Claim Recovery Specialist?

A claim is a legal demand or assertion provided by a person or company seeking some form of reimbursement, payment, or compensation. A claim recovery specialist concentrates on managing claims on behalf of a client and they can play different roles depending on their area of specialty. 

At J.E. Lawrence & Co, we specialize in managing client claims in class-action settlements. A class action is a legal proceeding in which one or more plaintiffs bring forward a lawsuit on behalf of a larger group, known as the “class.” If the legal proceeding is resolved in favor of the class, a monetary settlement fund will be determined, and all class members will be eligible to file a claim against the fund.

Responsibilities/Duties:

A claim recovery specialist manages every aspect of a claim. They are responsible for reviewing, analyzing, and processing clients’ claims. They validate claims to prevent fraud, develop claim review plans, and check necessary documents.

What Can a Claim Recovery Specialist Do For You?

It is possible to file a claim yourself; you are not required to sign up with a third-party service in a settlement. Further, no-cost assistance is usually available from the Class Administrators and Class Counsels during claims-filing periods. However, such assistance can be limited by time and convenience, and hiring a claim recovery specialist to manage your claim has many other benefits not provided by a case’s no-cost assistance.

Additionally, cases are often lengthy – sometimes taking years to be resolved and paid. Consequently, you can’t always rely on a member of your organization to monitor them. That is where a claim recovery specialist comes in. They’re the employee who never quits. Your specialist will save you time, handle your claim expertly, and give you peace of mind in knowing you’ll receive the entire amount of monetary relief to which your business is entitled. Their full attention is on recovering the money you are owed.
