Home / Two-wheeler Insurance / Bike/Two Wheeler Insurance Claim Settlement Ratio

One of the main reasons you buy insurance for your bike is an expectation that your insurance company will take care of damages in case of an unforeseen accident. In case of accidents or damages due to fire, calamities, etc, you inform your insurance company about the losses by raising a claim. And you hope that the insurance company would compensate you accordingly. However, insurance companies receive a lot of claims in a year, and unfortunately, a few claims are even rejected. While such cases are rare, you would still want to know the chances of your claim getting settled. And Claim Settlement Ratio tells you the same. Claim Settlement Ratio is a critical concept to look at while buying a two wheeler insurance plan.

A higher CSR means a higher chance of your accidental claims being settled. Thus, you must consider a company’s CSR while buying new bike insurance. A CSR anywhere between 85% to 95% can be considered ideal.
