In association with:
The CILA Claims Management SIG represents those members who predominantly handle claims at a desk. These individuals often play a critical role in the early stages of a claim, providing essential advice to policyholders and taking vital action to minimise or prevent further loss. It takes considerable skill to progress and settle a claim without the opportunity to meet parties in person or view the loss. The CILA Claims Management SIG committee appreciate the knowledge and talents that are required and provide relevant input into the CILA examinations and other activities to ensure the needs of these members are met.
