The real crux of car insurance is claims. What is the claims procedure? Almost 90% of people are not aware of the claims procedure. They take car insurance because it is compulsory (third party), but the claims procedure is so cumbersome that people tend to forgo the claim and instead settle for mutual settlement. Can you please elaborate on claims procedure so that the readers are aware of this aspect.
