In this episode of Financial Services Online's 'Weekly Insurance News Wrap,' we discuss various insurance developments. We start by revealing human error, particularly inattention, as the leading causes of truck crashes in Australia based on the National Truck Accident Research Centre's report. We highlight the success of firms that promote safe driving cultures in mitigating insurance risks. We move on to the transfer of vehicle compliance responsibilities in Queensland to NHVR, which aims to unify regulations across states. We then analyze profit reports for QBE and Suncorp, who've seen stronger premium growth and insurance margins respectively. For businesses and tradespeople looking for coverage, we stress the need to regularly review insurance needs and risks, and consult brokers for bespoke solutions.
