Do claimant's have teeth? Well, for one insurer, the compensation culture took a new twist. An emergency call came through one Saturday night to Lawphone - Allianz Cornhill Legal Protection's 24-hour helpline that provides advice on any personal or commercial legal problem. The panicked claimant needed quick advice - he wanted to know if he could make a claim for his false teeth, which he had managed to lose in the back of a taxi.

Backchat was impressed that the Allianz operator could understand what he was saying at all.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
