Indian Consumer Commissions Uphold Insurance Claims for Damaged Luxury Cars
Two consumer commissions in India ruled in favor of luxury car owners whose insurance claims were initially denied. In Maharashtra, the commission ordered United India Insurance to pay 70 lakh for a BMW destroyed by fire, rejecting the insurer's claim that leaving the car unattended voided coverage. In Chhattisgarh, a commission directed an insurer to pay 2.02 lakh after rainwater damaged a car due to a partially open window, finding the insurer's exclusion of such damage unfair. Both rulings included compensation for mental agony and litigation costs.
