The insurance company will refuse to submit a claim in the form of damage that already exists or has occurred to your car before registering for car insurance.

3. Violation of Traffic Rules

If you make an insurance claim due to a traffic violation, the insurance company will reject the claim.

The waiting period itself is a one month period calculated from the time the policy is issued. During that period, your claim will be rejected by the insurance company.

5. Intentional Damage

The insurance company will reject any type of car damage claim caused intentionally, such as crashing your car into another car or hitting your own car until it is damaged.

6. There are Additional Accessories that are Not Reported
