Judge Sargus appointed Ellen K. Reisman and John Jackson as Special Masters to oversee the settlement process. The court has also introduced an Intensive Settlements Process (ISP), which will be managed by the Special Masters under the court’s supervision until all pending claims are resolved.
Settlement Masters typically play a key role in organizing and categorizing plaintiffs into tiers or grids, taking into account factors such as the severity of their injuries and the strength of their claims.
