The online presentation of the annual Mansfield Awards for Claims Excellence will take place on Thursday (Sept 16).

The awards, which are in their fifth year, are named after the English Lord Chief Justice who introduced the concept of utmost good faith to insurance – a concept that is written into Australian law.

Winners will be announced in personal lines, SME property and casualty, corporate property and casualty, and specialty. The company with the highest aggregate score will win the coveted Gold Mansfield.

Last year’s Gold Mansfield was presented to Vero, over finalists Allianz, Hollard/HCi and Zurich.

Companies’ claims performances are collated from feedback provided in a survey via LMI Group’s Claims Comparison website. The results are “graded” to allow for differences in the size of client portfolios.

Steadfast and icare are event sponsors, and bookings to attend the online awards can be made at www.mansfieldawards.com.au.
