On an overcast morning in spring 2018, OrbitProtect was alerted to a tragic road accident. One of our policyholders was struck by a car while crossing a busy road in Christchurch, along with two other pedestrians. She sustained critical injuries and was taken to Christchurch Hospital by ambulance.

“Do you have any pre-existing medical conditions?” This is a commonly-asked question when we fill out insurance applications. What does it actually mean, you may ask.

New Zealand may have a small population of just 4.5 million people but it has a proud history of producing some of the most talented rowers in the world.

Like most Kiwis, at Orbit Protect we are seriously passionate about sport. We also love seeing people achieve their dreams, whether that’s travelling overseas to study or work in a beautiful country like New Zealand, or winning an Olympic medal!
