A new claims system has now been put in place to help streamline the process for preparing and filing claims for damages from the BP (NYSE:BP) oil spill.
Crivella West is a company which provides risk management and litigation systems for business and legal firms in general.
They reportedly worked together with attorneys located in the Gulf region to create the platform which is now available for access.
The new system is named 'Crivella West Knowledge Kiosk BP Claims Central,' and is on the Internet for shrinking the heavy burden related to clerical work which has been part of the reason for delays in payment claims, which have the potential to clog the process up even more as the escrow fund overseen by Kenneth Feinberg gets closer to launching.
One report describes the system like this:
"The system bridges the claimant, counsel and the Fund from which claims against BP are paid, the company says. It includes an executive dashboard that displays and reports the status of all claimants, automating client intake, case evaluations and documentation. The platform also feature deadline tracking and alert systems, an automated correspondence system and a standardized submissions package for adjusters."
According to the Web site of BP, about 151,000 claims have been filed so far, and many more are arriving daily. Of those 44,000 have been paid a minimum of one time.
So this should help immensely to expedite the process and get money to those who are owed it, but more importantly, need it quickly at this time.
