Consumer Commission Orders Tata AIG to Pay Rs 30 Lakh Accidental Death Claim
Tata AIG General Insurance rejected a Rs 30 lakh accidental death claim filed by the family of Govindasamy, a pensioner who died after a motor accident, citing policy exclusion due to alleged alcohol consumption. The Tamil Nadu State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission found insufficient evidence supporting this claim and ordered Tata AIG to pay the amount with interest and compensation. The case highlights challenges insurers face in proving exclusions related to intoxication in accident claims.
