6 Common Insurance Mistakes to Avoid

Don't let these mistakes cost you at claim time

Buying the cheapest plan

Compare coverage, not just premium. A cheap plan may have high co-payment or low coverage.

Not disclosing pre-existing conditions

Always disclose medical history. Non-disclosure can lead to claim rejection.

Ignoring the claim settlement ratio

Choose insurers with 95%+ claim settlement ratio for peace of mind.

Buying only mandatory coverage

Third-party car insurance is mandatory but comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle too.

Not reviewing insurance annually

Review your coverage every year as your income, family size, and assets change.

Delaying life insurance purchase

Buy term insurance early. A 25-year-old pays 40% less premium than a 35-year-old.
