Motor insurance claim denied after an accident? We can help.

From a minor dent to a total loss, motor claims are among the most disputed in India, and among the most winnable on appeal when the rejection rests on a technicality rather than genuine ineligibility.

Why motor claims get rejected

These are the reasons insurers give most often. Many don't survive a careful reading of the policy.

Delay in reporting the accident or filing the claim
Disputes over own damage versus third-party liability
Driving licence or document discrepancies
Vehicle modifications or "breach of policy conditions"
Total-loss or constructive total-loss valuation disputes
Alleged drunk driving or traffic violations
Disagreement with the garage or surveyor's assessment

How ClaimsKart helps

Rejection review
We assess the surveyor's report, the policy terms and the insurer's stated reason for denial.
Valuation disputes
For total or constructive total loss, we contest unfair depreciation and valuation.
Third-party claims
We help with Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) disputes where they apply.
End-to-end appeals
From the insurer's grievance cell to IRDAI and the Ombudsman.

If the insurer won't move, we escalate.

Your claim can go up through every redressal forum in India. We tell you at each step whether going further is worth it.
