Indian Consumer Commissions Award Compensation in Health Insurance and Medical Negligence Cases
Two consumer commissions in India ruled in favor of claimants in separate cases involving health-related disputes. In Himachal Pradesh, a man won Rs 1.47 lakh plus compensation after an insurer rejected his claim citing undisclosed hypertension without medical proof. In Haryana, a doctor was found negligent for inadequate treatment after kidney stone surgery, leading to Rs 2 lakh compensation ordered to be paid by the doctor's insurer. Both rulings emphasized the need for evidence and proper medical care.
