I had an accident at home that landed me in the hospital. My company knew about it, but after asking for documents, they rejected my claim. The insurance ombudsman helped, but I only got Rs. 9,000/- out of a total of Rs. 50,000/- spent. Should I file a consumer complaint? What else can I do?

Yes, you can file a consumer complaint against your insurance company as their rejection of your claim seems unjustified, especially after the ombudsman’s intervention. You can also explore legal recourse by filing a civil suit in a consumer forum or a regular court.

My close friend recently passed away due to suicide. I’m wondering if their group life insurance from their company and their individual life insurance policy would cover this. I can share more details about the policies. Are there any specific things I should be aware of in this situation?

Dear Sir/Madam, My mother, Late Smt. Jumana Devi, held a Jeevan Anand policy (No. 331636451) with a sum assured of Rs. 1 lakh for the past 11 years. We paid 10 premiums totaling Rs. 140,000/-. Upon her passing, we received a claim of Rs. 139,000/- which was less than the total premiums paid. When I spoke to the LIC CRM Manager, they claimed the claim was calculated correctly, including the sum assured, bonus, and other benefits. They also stated that any legal challenge would likely favor LIC. Should I pursue legal action against LIC? If so, could you provide me with any recent court judgments or case numbers related to similar situations? Thank you for your time and guidance.

In September 2014, I was in a serious motorbike accident. Admitted to the hospital with severe internal injuries, I had both bike insurance and personal health insurance. Initially, my parents thought they could manage the expenses and didn’t file a claim with either insurance. After a week, my condition worsened, leading to medical bills exceeding 10 lakhs. Upon discharge, I claimed 2 lakhs from my health insurance. Can I now claim the remaining medical expenses from the bike insurance?
