Christian Judge: Insurance Council spokesperson says Auckland flood claims will take years to settle
Insurers are warning it could be years before all the Auckland flood-related claims are settled.
The Insurance Council has had to bring in extra staff to get through the 15,000 claims- and they anticipate that as a start.
Insurance Council spokesperson Christian Judge says that the floods were a massive climate event that impacted most of the North Island beyond Auckland.
Judge says that the majority of claims will be settled within a few months, but there will be a 'tail' of claims from more complex circumstances.
