Rex who was a bachelor gave Pita a promisory note of US$25, 000 as payment for land. Pita felt that he overcharged Rex, so he asked Abusu who had possession of the promissory note to write on the back of it ‘reduced to US$10, 000’. Last week Pita had an accident and died. The executor of Pita’s estate sued for the full value of the promissory note. Advise all parties as to their interests and entitlements.
Dibakar Pal how is that possible? i thought that the executor can claim for the full amount.. how did you solve that question
Dear Selina Moceinavaga , interesting issue.
In order to successfully make a claim on your travel insurance policy, it’s important to understand these tips.
Timely notification is necessary
You must notify the travel insurance company as soon as reasonably possible in the event of a possible claim – either before or during your trip. This includes trip cancellations, trip interruptions, travel delays, missed connections, baggage loss or delay, and more depending on the policy.
This has a dual benefit – the provider knows you need help and can start the process to get you out of trouble, and you have established that a claim may be filed, so there are no surprises later.
Example copied from Travel Guard’s Gold planregarding trip cancellation or interruption claims“The Insured must notify Travel Guard as soon as reasonably possible in the event of a Trip Cancellation or Interruption claim. If the Insured is unable to provide cancellation notice within the required timeframe, the Insured must provide proof of the circumstance that prevented timely notification.”
Each travel insurance company has their own notification and claims procedures, so it’s vital that you take the time to review the policy.
In some cases pre-trip notification is required as well. For example, Travel Guard requires you to contact them before renting a car to confirm whether that vehicle is covered under your policy.
Proof of loss is expected
Just as you would expect to provide proof of loss with any insurance claim (home, auto, life, etc.), proof of loss is expected with travel insurance.
Proof of loss may include:
- written statements from the airline when they lose your bag
- police reports if you are in a collision with your rental car
- medical statements if you have to seek medical care during your trip
- a letter from the employer if you have to cancel your trip due to job loss
- reciepts for additional expenses such as meals, lodging, etc. if you have a travel delay
You’ll need to provide proof of loss (receipts, sworn statement, etc.) to the company within a certain number of days (typically 90) in order for a claim to be paid.
