Among the American consumers surveyed, 70% indicate that they are worried about paying for the rising costs of their insurance premiums and that nearly 40% of those that have cancelled policies did so because they could no longer afford them. The <i>wefox Global Safety Report<\/i>, conducted by Berlin-based digital insurer wefox, included more than 12,000 consumers in the UK, US, Poland, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe current model for insurance is broken and in urgent need of radical reinvention,\u201d said Julian Teicke, CEO, wefox. \u201cThe industry has failed to embrace the opportunities that technological change has given us. In focusing exclusively on profits, the sector has become complacent and lost sight of its original purpose\u2014to protect people in their time of need.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe survey further reveals:\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n48% of consumers surveyed indicate that the cost of their policies increased in the past 12 months\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n15% of policy holders do not trust any providers, with 33% saying that an insurance company has refused to pay out on the holder\u2019s claim. Car and health providers are trusted the most, critical illness and income protection the least.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nAlmost 30% of consumers believe that the insurance industry is complicated; 13% describe it as \u201cunfair\u201d; and 12% believe it is a waste of money.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n47% believe that insurance companies unfairly penalize consumers for factors beyond their control, such as the zip code where they live or industry in which they work.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nHalf of those surveyed would like to use more flexible options, such as \u201cinsure-as-you-go.\u201d\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nCar insurance leads as the insurance held by the majority of respondents at 61%, followed by Health at 55%, and Life at 37%.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThis report is the first in what will become a semi-annual survey.
