Following the death of Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, this accident has raised questions across the country about whether those traveling in private planes also receive insurance. How much compensation is provided, and what kind of coverage is available? Let's tell you about the insurance for passengers traveling in private aircraft.
Do Private Plane Passengers Get Insurance?
After the death of Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar in a private plane crash, people are wondering about insurance coverage. We can tell you that people traveling in private planes do have insurance, but it is customized. Generally, passengers traveling on any aircraft have a policy provided by the air carrier. However, in the case of private aircraft, this policy is different. The owner of the private aircraft or the company operating it takes out the insurance.
This insurance covers the plane, the crew, and the passengers. The insurance coverage for passengers depends on several factors, such as the policy limit, the cause of the accident, and the clauses included in the policy. Typically, the policy may include death benefits, permanent disability benefits, and medical expenses. However, it's important to note that not every company provides every type of coverage. Sometimes, passengers have to purchase separate travel insurance to receive medical claims and death coverage.
How much compensation is received? The compensation received in a private flight accident depends on the policy amount. While standard airline insurance typically provides coverage in the millions of rupees, the amount in private plane accidents is determined by the terms of the policy. Some private policies may offer death benefits of several crores of rupees, especially if the policy is tailored for a high-profile individual.
How is a claim processed?
First, the necessary accident report and analysis report are prepared. Then, the insurance company must be provided with the required documents, such as the FIR (First Information Report), medical reports, policy details, and the beneficiary details of the deceased. During the claims process, the insurance company conducts an investigation according to its standard procedures, and if everything is found to be in order, the agreed-upon amount is paid out.
