Businesses in New Zealand are very much focused on safety and the costs associated with ensuring that all who enter the business environment (including motor vehicles) are protected against accidents.

Due to your hard work and utilising the services of Vertical Horizonz,  the claims statistics for accidents are reducing. Many related overheads, however, are not reducing and this is due to increased costs of medical care and other services.  We draw to your attention that this also does not take into account the social costs which are rarely spoken about or quantified.  One major statistic is that 1 in 7 families lose their estate and livelihoods due to ill health of the primary breadwinner.  Much of this is caused by either not having any insurance cover for Loss of Income insurance or more importantly the correct preventative measures in place. This is very much a case of what I term ‘silent wastage’.
