^ yan ata ang delikado, baka mag-declare ng bankruptcy. For me, I opted sa free insurance ni BPI

read your policies.. nakalagay don kung ilang percent nang damage para ma declared as total loss.. some are 70%.. some 80%..

medyo habaan ang pasensya.. at matagal ang processing nito..

Dati di ko makita sa policy ko kung ilang percent. Pero nakita ko somewhere sa Insurance Law, is kapag ang repair amount would be 75% of the insured amount, declared as total loss na.

Yung sa akin, accident naman. Total loss sya. Ang nakuha ko lang is yung Fair Market Value, not the insured amount.

Mas madali magclaim if you get your insurance with a licensed broker, kasi tutulungan kayo sa pagclaim. Pero pag mga taong commission lang, good luck.

naku, mukhang lumang batas pa yang Insurance Code ... panahon pa ni Marcos Section 385 - Insurance Code of the Philippines Annotated

Section 385. The insurance company concerned shall forthwith ascertain the truth and extent of the claim and make payment within five working days after reaching an agreement. If no agreement is reached, the insurance company shall pay only the "no-fault" indemnity provided in section three hundred seventy-eight without prejudice to the claimant from pursuing his claim further, in which case, he shall not be required or compelled by the insurance company to execute any quit claim or document releasing it from liability under the policy of insurance or surety bond issued. (As amended by Presidential Decree No. 1455)

In case of any dispute in the enforcement of the provisions of any policy issued pursuant to this chapter, the adjudication of such dispute shall be within the original and exclusive jurisdiction of the Commissioner, subject to the limitations provided in section four hundred sixteen.

Well we made sure to complete all the necessary documentation
accident statement form, and certification from
the Brgy. Captain that indeed there was flooding.

Remember first in first out, in all claims.

As for AOG claims resolution re: flooding - water up to dashboard level, total loss na agad.
