In this episode of the Weekly Insurance News Wrap, Paige Estritori covers major cases from the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) that highlight the importance of insurance brokers' diligence and the growing reliance on technology in insurance claims. Notably, a broker was ordered to pay nearly $300,000 for uninsured fire losses due to negligence, while advanced in-car technology foiled a false single collision claim. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is considering action on professional indemnity insurance transparency for Financial Services Licence holders, and regulations are expected to tighten soon. Additionally, a case involving unexpected medical expenses from a cat bite during overseas travel underlines the importance of understanding policy details, especially when dealing with unpredictable circumstances. The episode wraps up with a reminder to visit financialservicesonline.com.au for more information, and a note for listeners to stay informed and insured.
