请问这里的As是让步状语从句吗

Now the tide appears to beturning.As personal injury claims continue as before,some courts are beginningto side with defendants,especially in cases where a warning label probablywouldn't have changed anything.

这句As personal injury claimscontinue as before是否要理解为让步状语从句？

这句的意思是“伴随理赔的不断增加”，可以理解为缘由状语从句。这不应该是让步关系。
