Epiq has been a top global claims administrator since 1993, and
it has overseen some of the largest and most extensive settlements

large-scale catastrophes, and malfunctioning medical devices. Its
continued investment in the mass tort settlement and lien
resolution market reinforces its strong position as the market
leader.

and experience,” Garcia said. “We have the resources to resolve
liens for the biggest settlements, as well as the compassion,
skill, and discretion to handle the most delicate cases.”
