5 Things You Must Know About Liability Health Insurance Policy
What is a Liability Insurance Plan?
A liability insurance policy is designed to protect the interests of businesses and individuals against third party liabilities. A third party may sue the business for negligence, malpractices, and injuries. The insurance company will compensate for the damages and settle it directly with the third party.
A liability insurance plan covers legal liabilities arising against a company or an individual due to property damage, bodily injuries, personal injuries, and advertising injuries to a third party. A liability insurance plan will repay the costs associated with the loss of health due to injury or sickness.
How Does a Liability Health Insurance Plan Works?
Before buying a liability insurance plan, there are certain things that you should be aware of-
FIR -The third-party should register a complaint at the nearest police station. It is an important document based on which the insurance company will verify other details and the insurance claim will be processed quickly.
Coverage - The limit on coverage will not be fixed while buying the insurance policy. The insurance company will make the payment to the third party as per the terms and conditions of the policy and in accordance with the court of law.
Submission of Documents - The third-party should submit all the required documents as specified by the insurance company. The documents should include the original FIR and original bills of expenses incurred after the accident.

If the third-party fails to produce the required information or documents, the insurance claim may be delayed or rejected.
3. When Should You File a Claim?

As per the motor vehicle’s act, the third-party should approach the tribunal which is in the purview of the mishap. It should be the place of the residence of the owner of the vehicle as well. The location should also match with the driver’s residence or the injured person’s ordinary place of living.
