Frequently Asked Questions

Can I file a consumer case against an insurance company?

No. MACT cases, road accident injury compensation claims and personal injury compensation claims arising from motor accidents are not part of this service area. The service is focused on consumer insurance claim disputes, including vehicle own-damage insurance disputes.

Yes. Health insurance claim rejection may be challenged if the rejection is vague, unsupported, medically incorrect, contrary to policy terms or based on improper grounds such as unsupported pre-existing disease allegation, non-disclosure allegation, waiting period rejection or arbitrary deduction.

Yes. Vehicle own-damage insurance claim rejection, low surveyor assessment, repair claim deduction, delay in settlement or refusal to pay repair charges may be challenged depending on the policy terms, surveyor report, repair estimate, photographs, bills and insurer communication.

Yes. Fire insurance and property insurance claim disputes may be challenged if the insurer wrongfully rejects the claim, relies on an unfair surveyor assessment, delays settlement, under-settles the claim or refuses to consider proper evidence of loss.

Yes. A surveyor report may be challenged if it is arbitrary, incomplete, unsupported by facts, contrary to documents, based on wrong assumptions or results in unfair under-settlement. The available evidence, photographs, repair estimates, bills and policy terms must be reviewed.

It depends on the facts, claim amount, evidence, urgency and relief required. Insurance Ombudsman may be useful in some grievance matters. Consumer Commission may be more suitable where compensation, deficiency in service, unfair trade practice, disputed evidence or larger relief is involved.

Preserve the policy copy, complete policy terms, rejection letter, claim documents, bills, surveyor report if available, insurer emails, SMS, WhatsApp messages and all related records. Do not send an emotional or incomplete reply. A structured legal review should be done based on documents and policy terms.
