The topic of claims is never far from the news, 2021 alone saw the introduction of the new Personal Injuries Guidelines and insurance reform initiatives. This event has never been timelier, we have gathered an expert panel of professionals to discuss, among other aspects, the impact of the pandemic and what new claims can be seen on the horizon. This is a must attend event for anyone involved directly or indirectly in managing claims.
