Which of the following is NOT listed as a factor in the reasons for increasing claims filings?

Filing volume rises when more individuals become eligible to claim and more avenues exist to pursue those claims. A change in TDP can alter the conditions under which claims are filed, potentially increasing filings. Greater medical awareness and more frequent diagnosis of mesothelioma expand the pool of recognized, compensable cases, directly boosting filings. The emergence of asbestos-related bankruptcies creates trust funds that accept claims, providing another path for claimants and driving up filings. A cap on punitive damages, on the other hand, affects how much can be awarded after a claim is filed, not how many claims are filed. So it doesn’t drive the increase in filings.
