How to Cancel an Insurance Claim
There are many situations when a person who has filed for a claim from his insurance company decides to withdraw his case. This may be because of a situation in which the second party has agreed to make the payment in person and the insurance company is not required to pay the claim.
This usually happens when a person is at fault in an accident and he would not like to pay the high premium in this case. It would be better for him to make the settlement with the other party without involving the insurance company.
