A recent viral video depicts a Mahindra Thar involved in a shocking incident in Delhi. The footage shows a woman’s new Thar being driven off the first floor of a showroom. The vehicle subsequently overturned, triggering the airbags, and causing visible distress. The car, acquired for 27 lakh rupees, was damaged on the very day of delivery, leading to a shift from anticipation to dismay. The main concern revolves around how this damage will be addressed and if insurance will cover the expenses.
The incident occurred at a Mahindra showroom located in the Nirman Vihar area of Delhi. The woman was there to take possession of her new Thar. The car was blessed and customary rituals were performed on the first floor. As the woman started to drive the vehicle, she lost control, leading the car to crash through the showroom’s window and fall to the ground. The Thar overturned upon impact. Thankfully, the airbags deployed, saving both the woman and the showroom staff. The brand-new Thar was extensively damaged in the accident.
The primary query is whether the woman is covered for the loss. When a new car is purchased, the insurance is usually arranged by the showroom and is paid for by the customer. Thus, the insurance becomes effective immediately upon delivery.
Because of this, the woman has a good chance of a successful insurance claim. Nevertheless, the insurance company will investigate the incident. They will want to determine whether the damage was caused by an accident or by negligence. Due to the loss of control and the potential for greater damage, this situation will likely be seen as an accident. The insurance company will usually cover the cost of repairs, but the customer will typically need to pay a deductible.
When a new car is in an accident, the insurance company should be notified immediately. A company surveyor will then inspect the damage. Finally, the car is delivered to a registered service center for repair.
