“As the world adjusts to the COVID-19 health crisis, never has the need for a strong and agile insurance industry been more relevant,” said Stuart Blake of The Claims Bridge International. “Social distancing is creating a new standard for the way businesses are run and changes in global policies and general uncertainties make even traditional claim settlements a challenge.”

In the current pandemic, a new approach is needed now more than ever.

The webinar on claims management will be moderated by Fred Iantorno, vice-president, IoT, VeriFacts Automotive, LLC. Panelists include David McDonald, president international, The Claims Bridge International; Stuart Blake, president APAC, The Claims Bridge International; Chris Ashworth, AVP, Enterprise Holdings; and Peter McAninch, director of engineering, AGL. “We invited insurance experts to discuss the importance of identifying and mitigating risks and how traditional claims settlements will change as a result of COVID-19,” said Blake.

Discussion topics will include:

Catastrophic hail claims management in 2020
Tactics for identifying and mitigating risks
Managing claims in a post-COVID-19 world
Major trends for insurers
Utilizing digital technologies during the claims lifecycle
The reality around digital estimation
Changing surrounding supplier engagement across different markets
