Some car owners always carry broken gadgets in their cars, such as smartphones with cracked screens or tablets that have stopped functioning following being dropped several times. A representative of the traffic police revealed the purpose of this practice. It is known that a broken gadget can be used to obtain compensation in case of a road traffic accident (RTA).
Provided that the owner of the broken device is not the culprit of the accident, he can claim that his gadget was also damaged as a result of the accident.
It is important to include this information in your notice to the insurance company. Thus, in addition to compensation for damage to the car, an enterprising car owner can also receive compensation for a damaged device.
Representatives of the traffic police emphasized that this scheme is fraud, and if the insurance company establishes the fact of fraud, refusal to pay compensation under the CASCO policy will be inevitable.
Insurance companies note that such cases are not common. This is encouraging news and shows that the number of drivers looking to game the system is decreasing.
