Accident scene in a file photo (PHOTO:Standard)Insurance companies will settle claims for accidents that happen during curfew hours, negating an earlier advisory that driving during the curfew hours of between 8 PM and 4 AM could render one’s insurance invalid. The Association of Kenya Insurers (Aki), the lobby for local insurance companies dismissed a statement made by an insurance agents’ lobby that warned motorists from driving past curfew hours as insurers would not settle claims for accidents that take place within these hours. “Any motor insurance claim that arises during curfew hours cannot be dismissed on the basis of the time of the accident. If you violate curfew hours, then the Police will charge you with that violation,” said AKI. We advise customers whose claims were denied on the basis of getting an accident during curfew hours to visit their insurer for review.”
