New figures released by the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and Group Risk Development (GRiD) show that the insurance industry paid out more than £5.3 billion in protection claims in 2018 – a £200 million increase year-on-year.
The numbers also revealed that the number of claims paid surpassed 200,000 for the first time ever and nearly every claim made was paid (97.6%). The average life insurance pay-outs reached £81,000, the highest average on record and more than 35,000 families/beneficiaries were supported following an unexpected bereavement, to the tune of £.29 billion. Pay-outs now equal £14.5 million paid every single day.
The ABI recently launched a calculator to help consumers better understand their financial exposure to income shocks caused by being left unable to work after falling ill or injured.
