Which of the following is NOT listed as a reason for increasing claims filing rate?

The idea is that filing rate is driven by factors that expand who can file and how easily claims move through the system. Expanding punitive damages in personal injury cases affects how much might be awarded after a claim is filed, not how many people file or how readily claims are brought. So it doesn’t drive up the number of filings. In contrast, changes to the Trust Distribution Process can alter the flow and accessibility of settlements, greater medical awareness and more frequent diagnosis of mesothelioma increase the pool of potential claimants, and recent asbestos-related bankruptcies create structured avenues (trusts) that encourage and organize more filings.
