She was drunk: Insurer denies Rs 3 lakh claim, consumer court directs payout with compensation

A woman won her Rs 3 lakh insurance claim after her insurer wrongly denied it, stating she was drunk. The Navasari commission ordered payment plus Rs 5,000 for harassment. In another case, the Ernakulam commission directed United India Insurance to pay Rs 35,000 for delaying claims and service deficiency. These rulings highlight consumer rights and insurer accountability.
