claim amount sent in wrong account by insurance company claim amount sent in wrong account by insurance company

5 years ago

I am Empanel investigator and advocate in Insurance company. I had investigated one death case of group Personal accident claim. In the said case claimant had provided her unread bank pass book copy.
The correct account number was 32250100810988, but in my investigation report i had mentioned 32250100810908. The claimant had also mentioned incorrect account number 32250100810908 in claim form.
Generally insurance company pays to beneficiary's on the basis of photocopy of bank pass book.
But i am surprised that, in the said case insurance company had paid the benfeciary on the basis of my report. Due to wrong account number amount went to third party account and he has withdrawn it and he is not returning the amount.
Now insurance company has issued a letter to me and asking clarification . Company has also threating that they will dipanel me and amount will be recovered from my pending fees towards company.
Kindly advice me.

A.Dear Advocate,
its surely your fault as you mentioned wrong account number relying on claim form, without matching the same from his bank passbook. however, its company's responsibility and right as well to recover the same the person , in whose account it was by mistake paid.
they can, i think, recover the loss from you but if they succeed in getting the amount they have to repay the same to you.
you are advised to amicably settle/MANAGE the matter.

good luck
