- If the policyholder does not feel satisfied with the reply, he/she can elevate this dispute by approaching the Insurance Ombudsman.
- If the outcome at the Ombudsman remains unsatisfactory, it is possible to examine the possibility of taking the legal route i.e approaching the court or the Consumer Forum.
- If the claim amount involved is high, services of a suitable lawyer or an advocate can be taken.
- Remember that negotiation skills and tenacity to overcome the challenges for the sake of your rights are essential for resolving the disputes pertaining to the claim.
