    • Inventory of Loss
    • Book​s of Accounts
    • Supplier’s invoices, bills, receipts, etc. to support values and indicate terms of sale

    • Individual worksheets for labour and equipment to substantiate the claim
    • Copy of original agreement along with supplementary agreements

    • First Information Report/Police Investigation Report/Fire Brigade Report, wherever required
    • Discharge voucher
    • Letter of Subrogation and Special Power of Attorney
    • Any other information and documentation not detailed above relevant to the occurred loss/damage

What are the follow up actions?

  • The surveyor may visits the site a second time to inspect the repairs undertaken or seek clarification on the supporting documents. He may also discuss the settlement amount and take the insured’s consent on the same.
  • If the documents are not complete, the surveyor or LGI will send reminder letters to the insured.
  • Despite several reminders, if the insured is unable to comply with the documents/ information called for, LGI may issue a closure letter to the insured.
  • In case of total loss or constructive total loss, the surveyor may facilitate disposal of salvage.

What are the loss settlement actions?

  • Processing of claims will be in accordance with the policy terms, exclusions, provisions and conditions or endorsed thereon.
  • LGI will settle claims, after being satisfied by the submitted survey report, bills and documents, which prove that the claim falls within the ambit of the policy.
  • If any recovery rights are protected, ‘Letter of Subrogation and Power of Attorney’ will be obtained from the ​insured.

    Thanks Mr. Kaushal and Mr. Rajesh Portability for Mr. Rohit's son is accepted by Health Insurance Underwriting Team. This is a lovely example of ''OUT OF THE BOX'' thinking at LGI as Dr. Liji has physically examined the boy after discussing the matter with Dr. Asha and Hemlata madam instead of compelling him to go for X-Ray/MRI.​​ Parents of the boy appreciated the way proposal was tackled as parents and the consulting doctor were not of the opinion of taking X-Ray/MRI of the young boy, as he was fit post hospitalization. Thanks to Underwriting Team for thinking differently.​
