A rising tide of insurance claims

People who suffered damage to their home and contents from Cyclone Yasi and the recent floods are facing the daunting task of submitting a claim to their insurer. Many Queenslanders will find they have no flood insurance, while those with the likes of Suncorp, Calliden, Ansvar, AMP or Westpac Insurance who automatically include flood cover will have to deal with assessors and the bureaucracy involved in justifying their claims.
