Episode Synopsis

In this week's episode of Financial Services Online's Weekly Insurance News Wrap, host Paige Estritori discusses an Australian tourist who secured a $195,223 compensation from Lloyd's Insurance despite their initial refusal due to lack of pre-approval. The Australian Financial Complaints Authority backed the tourist, who had fallen severely ill in Thailand, asserting the urgent need for repatriation and the essence of the insurance industry — people over paperwork. Next, Club Marine, an Allianz subsidiary, has announced Tim Wiles as the new CEO. Starting his journey as a junior underwriter in 2007, Wiles is poised to drive Club Marine's stature as a leading recreational boat insurance provider towards market growth.
