The special June anniversary issue of Claims includes a "History of Claims" timeline with information on landmark losses and litigation highlighting a pivotal stage in not only modern-day P&C claims handling but also the history of the magazine. An expanded and interactive version of the timeline can be found on PropertyCasualty360.com/Claims60years. Also, during the America's Claims Event (ACE) in Austin, TX last week Claims hosted a cocktail reception for the attendees in honor of the anniversary. ACE, presented by Claims and other Summit Business Media outlets, including PropertyCasualty360.com, is the only industry event where senior claims professionals get the insight they need to implement effective and tactical strategies for their claims handling process.

"Throughout the years, our focus has always been to report and analyze the key issues for our subscribers," said Christina Bramlet, editor of Claims. "We greatly appreciate our readers and advertisers that have continued to support our endeavors."

"The 60-year anniversary is quite an achievement, especially in this economy with more and more emphasis on electronic resources," said James Daggett, publisher of Claims. "With superb editorial talent over the years coupled with an incredible online presence at PropertyCasualty360.com, Claims has been able to stand the test of time. We look forward to continuing this tradition of excellence for years to come."
