When a car insurance claim is rejected

Recently, we present a note of how drivers can cope when they have to file a claim with the insurer of cars , but what do you do when this claim is rejected?
 
In Mexico, it is not uncommon for insurers to reject an insurance claim car or reduction of payments made by you. This is because:
 
1) Your insurance company concluded that, in large part (or at least most), it was your fault, if your claim is related to the theft of the vehicle.
 
2) The policy of your auto insurer may contain a clause that invalidates the claim.
 
3) Your insurer decided that the claim must be resolved in another policy, such as home insurance, etc., (Particularly often the case when it comes to auto theft).
 
4) Report that the claim was false or inaccurate.
 
5) can not provide the value of items stolen from your car.
 
The insurance company will always expect them to reveal any information that is of utmost importance for the job, in fact, you're obligated to do so, although details are not requested. Insurance companies often use this approach for the exchange of information and to justify the denial or reduction of scale of the claims. If any of these situations are presented with your car insurance claim, there are some important points you have to take into account:
  • The small print of your policy has a lot of weight, study it thoroughly before, during and after filing your complaint (preferably before taking any action.)
  • Keep accurate records of conversations and correspondence. With the receipts you can make a big difference in supporting your claim and facilitate its success.
  • You can question the figure given by the insurer. Rather than accept no buts, ask every question you have.
If after all this you still disagree with the decision of your insurer to reject your claim or the payment level awarded, the next step should be to contact the Condusef (National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Financial Service Users .) For this, first you must confirm your claim to the insurer. Then check to be treated for it and if you do not see progress, once your insurer will have provided a letter or final response to your complaint or has given you no answer within the prescribed period, introduce yourself to the Condusef.
 
Delays in resolving a claim of self-insurers can lead to massive disruption of the lives of people, so I hope this article has been useful for you.
 
Tips for getting adequate insurance for you
Precise policy
  Make sure your insurance policy reflects your current situation. This includes all information on the car, also make sure your estimated annual mileage is proper. If you work from home or traveling recently, your insurance should be adequate to this feature.
 
Consider increasing your deductible
  If you raise the deductible, please note that you will be responsible for that amount in case you cause an accident. If you created an emergency fund, increase your deductible will not be a bad idea.
 
Remove certain elements of coverage
  Each insurance policy has different levels of coverage. Some are required, others are recommended and some simply are not necessary for the situation.
 
Please note that you must leave the pool
  Many insurance policies will have little things that just are not needed, such as emergency roadside assistance. Discuss with your insurance company which would like to have extras and what not.
 
Combine policies if you are newly married
  If you have just got married the same insurer, combining your policies with your partner. This will save a lot of money.
 
Take advantage of multi-car discounts
 
If you receive a new policy, consider going to the insurer to use your spouse. There is a huge savings for the maintenance of all vehicles under your roof.
  
A different car
  We saw last week how the type of car you drive can have an impact on the amount of insurance you pay. Consider driving a different car.
 
Consider having only one car
Do you really need that additional car? If you're married you work from home, then your partner may just need to be transported by car. The savings in maintenance payments and insurance may be enough.
