I recently had a car accident and filed an insurance claim for the damage. The agent says he needs to visit my home and take pictures of me, but doesn’t explain why. This seems strange. Is this necessary and legal?

An insurance agent generally does not need to visit your home and take pictures of you for a car accident claim. This request seems unusual. You are within your rights to decline this request and ask for a clear explanation of why it’s necessary.

My brother passed away last February. He had a personal accident insurance policy where I’m the nominee. His wife and child are also family, but the policy papers are with his sister-in-law, who’s refusing to return them. LIC agents say his wife has legal rights, but I’m the nominated beneficiary. Can she still claim the insurance?

My iPhone 5S, bought from Laxmi Nagar with insurance, was stolen on December 5th. I reported it to the insurance company, but they’re refusing my claim because the SIM in the phone wasn’t in my name. This wasn’t mentioned in the terms and conditions I signed, yet they won’t even forward my claim to the insurance company, saying it will be rejected. I insured the phone, not the SIM. Why does it matter who was using the SIM? I can buy a phone for anyone, and they can use any SIM they want. They’re being unreasonable, saying there’s nothing they can do. The claim amount is Rs. 20,000. What can I do?

Dear Advisor, My brand new car was stolen just two weeks after I bought it. I have insurance with an IDV of 6.5 lakhs. The court process has caused a delay in submitting the required documents. In the meantime, the insurance company sent a letter saying they’ve closed my claim. I called them and explained the court situation, requesting them to keep the claim open. However, I haven’t submitted any written documentation yet. Because of this delay, the insurance company is deducting 10% from my IDV. Is this a valid deduction based on their rules? Are there other options for me to get the full insured amount?
