Insurance Claims and Claims Forms

Understanding Insurance Claims


An insurance claim is a formal request by a policyholder to an insurance company for coverage or
compensation for a covered loss. The insurer reviews the claim, evaluates its validity, and then pays
out benefits according to the policy terms.

Types of Insurance Claims


1. First-Party Claims - Filed by the policyholder (e.g., vehicle damage, health insurance claims).
2. Third-Party Claims - Filed against the policyholder by another party (e.g., liability claims in auto
insurance).

General Insurance Claims Process


1. Notification of Loss - The policyholder informs the insurer about the loss/damage.
2. Claim Submission - The insured fills out a claim form and submits required documents.
3. Claim Investigation - The insurer verifies details, inspects damages, and determines liability.
4. Claim Settlement - The insurer either approves, partially approves, or denies the claim.
5. Payment/Denial - If approved, payment is processed; if denied, reasons are provided.

Key Insurance Claim Forms


- Form 32: Claim Initiation Form - Basic details of the policyholder, policy number, and loss details.
- Form 34: Property Damage Claim Form - Used for reporting damage to insured property.
- Form 36: Third-Party Liability Claim Form - Used when a third party is involved in the claim.
- Form 38: Medical Claim Form - Required for health-related claims.
- Form 40: Death Claim Form - Used for life insurance and accidental death claims.

Common Insurance Claim Terminologies


- Deductible: The amount the insured must pay before the insurer covers the rest.
- Exclusions: Situations or items not covered by the insurance policy.
- Adjuster: A professional who evaluates the claim and determines the payout.
- Subrogation: When the insurer recovers claim money from a third party responsible for the loss.
- Salvage: The remaining value of damaged property after a claim payout.
How to Tackle Interview Questions
1. Tell us about your insurance experience.
- Highlight your property and casualty expertise.
- Mention transferable skills: policy handling, risk assessment, underwriting knowledge.

2. How would you handle a disputed claim?


- Investigate the issue, gather evidence, and communicate with the policyholder.
- Escalate if needed, ensuring compliance with regulations.

3. What would you do if a customer is unhappy with their claim settlement?


- Show empathy, explain the decision based on policy terms, and provide alternatives like
reconsideration or dispute resolution.

4. Explain the difference between first-party and third-party claims.


- First-party: Policyholder claims for their own loss (e.g., car damage).
- Third-party: A third person files a claim against the policyholder (e.g., liability claims).

5. What are some common fraud indicators in claims?


- Exaggerated claims, multiple claims for the same event, missing documents, suspicious claim
timing.
