Claim Settlement
When presented with a claim, the insurance company either pays the claim or denies it.
Most claims are paid, but a few will be denied, either because the loss did not occur or
because it is not covered by the policy. A loss may not be covered because it was
excluded, the policy lapsed, the loss was not within the scope of the insurance
agreement, or the insured violated a policy condition.
