Parked BMW on highway catches fire; consumer court orders insurer to pay Rs 70 lakh

Maharashtra state consumer commission ruled that United India Insurance must compensate a BMW owner after a claim rejection. The car was destroyed by fire following a late-night tyre puncture, leading to the owner seeking compensation. The commission determined that the owner’s actions constituted reasonable precautions under the circumstances. The insurer’s refusal was deemed a deficiency in service without sufficient justification.
