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.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
