Consumer Commissions Order Insurers to Pay Rejected Life and Vehicle Claims
Two consumer disputes in India resulted in insurance companies being ordered to pay claims after rejecting them. In Andhra Pradesh, a widow won a Rs 1 crore life insurance claim after the insurer failed to prove income misrepresentation by her deceased husband, who died in a road accident. In Hyderabad, a businesswoman was awarded Rs 5.60 lakh for a rejected vehicle insurance claim, with the commission finding insufficient evidence of prior damage or non-disclosure. Both rulings cited deficiencies in the insurers' service.
