Aggregator
site GoCompare has released its study into which professions are most likely to
make a claim on their car insurance policies. The results aren’t too good for
those of us who work in the insurance industry!
Three
insurance sector professions made it to the top 20 with claim rates well above
the national average of six per cent. In the top ten were insurance consultants, with 10.18 per cent of them claiming
in the past five years. Then came insurance representatives, with 9.42 per cent
making claims, followed by (even more ironically) claims adjustors at 9.39 per
cent.
However
the study revealed that it’s health care professionals who are, by some margin,
the biggest claimants. GPs came in top, with nearly 13 per cent of them lodging
at-fault claims in the past five years. Hospital consultants were a close
second with 12 per cent, while hospital doctors and surgeons were in fourth and
fifth place, with just over 10.4 per cent of them making claims.
Meanwhile
the least likely to claim on their car insurance were car dealers, abattoir
workers and car wash attendants.
