Is there anything that can be done to avoid claims being made?
A few things - yes. One the state rep board has initiated immediately is that all claims are to be lodged thru AKSA.
At least one possibly avoidable claim was carried thru by the insurer without our approval or input.
AND we had precious little time to investigate alternatives for this season without leaving members uninsured for a time - obviously completely unacceptable.
Every board rep is now making every enquiry possible so that we will have a complete folio of possibilities open to us before next seasons premium falls due.
Existing members who have - or do join or renew before 1/1/11 - should appreciate that AKSA and every state has contributed heavily to give them the opportunity to get at least this years cover at the previous enjoyed and extremely low rate.
