How to Claim
Civil Liability claims will arise if there is prima facie evidence of negligence by the insured resulting in injury or death to any third party or resulting in damage to property belonging to a person other than the insured.
Liability will be proved only when the following conditions are satisfied:
- Existence of duty of care
- Breach of this duty
- Injury suffered by a person or property damaged as a result of that breach:
- In case of any event likely to give rise to a liability claim as described above, the insurance company should be informed immediately by phone, email, fax or in writing.
- In case any legal notice or summons is received, it should be sent to the insurance company who will have the option of arranging the defense in the case.
- The event giving rise to the claim should have occurred during the period of insurance or retroactive period and the claim first made in writing against the insured during the policy period.
- The maximum amount payable including defense costs will be the “Any One Accident Limit” selected. The “Any One Year Limit” will get reduced by the amount of claim or indemnity paid for any one accident. Any number of such claims made during the policy period will be covered subject to the total indemnity not exceeding the “Any One Year Limit”.
