Consumer Panels Order Insurance Payouts in Disputed Toyota Fortuner Claims
Two consumer dispute commissions ruled against insurance companies for wrongly rejecting claims related to Toyota Fortuner vehicles. In Delhi, a woman was awarded Rs 11.65 lakh plus compensation after her stolen SUV claim was denied due to a policy transfer dispute. In Jalandhar, a legal heir received over Rs 4.36 lakh after Bajaj Allianz rejected an accident claim citing the policy was in the deceased owner's name. Both rulings emphasized insurers cannot deny claims after accepting premiums when ownership or policy transfers are pending.
