Maharashtra consumer court orders insurer to pay Rs 70 lakh for burnt BMW claim
The Maharashtra State Consumer Commission has ruled against United India Insurance for rejecting a claim filed by a BMW owner whose car was destroyed by fire. The incident occurred after a late-night tyre puncture left the vehicle parked on a highway, where it subsequently caught fire. The commission found that the owner had taken reasonable precautions given the circumstances of the breakdown. The insurer's decision to reject the claim was ruled a deficiency in service, lacking sufficient justification. United India Insurance has been ordered to pay Rs 70 lakh in compensation to the vehicle owner.
