Verus Approved as Sub-Qualified Settlement Fund Administrator in Maui Fire Individual Plaintiff Cases
Court order authorizes Verus Claims Services LLC to support Sub-QSF administration for participating individual plaintiffs.
Princeton, New Jersey — June 19, 2026 — Verus Claims Services LLC has been approved by the Circuit Court of the Second Circuit, State of Hawaiʻi, to serve as a Sub-Qualified Settlement Fund Administrator in In the Matter of the Petition for the Coordination of Individual Plaintiffs Maui Fire Cases, Case No. 2CSP-23-0000057.
The order, entered by the Honorable Peter T. Cahill, grants the motion filed by leadership firms for approval to establish Sub-Qualified Settlement Funds. Under the order, Verus Claims Services LLC is approved to serve as a Sub-QSF administrator for law firms representing individual plaintiffs in the coordinated Maui Fire litigation.
The Court found that the purpose of the Sub-QSF structure is to facilitate the expedient and accurate transfer of settlement proceeds from BrownGreer, the Individual Settlement Claims Administrator, to individual plaintiffs, while allowing plaintiffs the opportunity to evaluate available settlement planning options, including special needs or supplemental needs trusts, structured settlements, pooled trusts, and other vehicles.
“We are honored to be approved by the Court to support this important process,” said Mark Eveland, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Verus. “Our role is to provide experienced, transparent, and efficient administration that helps ensure settlement proceeds are managed and distributed with care, accuracy, and accountability.”
As Sub-QSF administrator, Verus is authorized to conduct activities necessary to administer Sub-Qualified Settlement Funds, facilitate funding of structured settlements, special needs trusts, or similar vehicles within the meaning of Section 130(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and take appropriate steps to wind down the Sub-QSF following final distribution of funds.
The order further provides that any law firm representing individual plaintiffs in the Special Proceeding may elect to utilize Verus as a Sub-QSF administrator by filing a separate order with the Court designating Verus for that role. Use of a Sub-QSF remains at the discretion of each individual plaintiff, and plaintiffs may elect not to use a Sub-QSF or may opt out at any time.
“This approval reflects the importance of having experienced administrative support in complex settlement environments,” Eveland added. “Verus is committed to supporting law firms and their clients with the systems, processes, and accountability needed to manage settlement administration effectively.”
“Verus is uniquely qualified for this type of work because our team understands the operational, financial, and claimant-centered demands of complex settlement administration,” said Knut Fenner, CEO of Verus. “For more than two decades, Verus has supported law firms, trustees, and stakeholders in high-volume litigation matters by combining experienced people, disciplined processes, and scalable technology. That foundation allows us to provide the accuracy, transparency, and responsiveness required when administering funds for large groups of individual claimants.”
