A marine insurance policy is meant to safeguard cargo, goods in transit, and shipping-related risks. However, in many cases, businesses find their marine insurance claims short-settled — meaning the amount paid by the insurer is less than the actual loss incurred.
What Does a Short-Settled Marine Insurance Claim Really Mean?
A short-settled marine insurance claim occurs when the insurer pays less than the actual value of cargo or goods lost or damaged during transit. This can result from technical disputes over packaging, under-declared values, incomplete documentation, or exclusions in the policy wording. For businesses that rely on the safe and timely movement of goods, such underpayments can lead to serious financial strain. At Authentic Insurance Brokers India Limited, we help policyholders understand the reason for short-settlement, review all documentation, and work with insurers to pursue a fair and justified payout. We make sure your losses aren’t overlooked or undervalued.

Despite having coverage, the marine insurance claim amount didn’t come close to the cost of our damaged goods—it left us with a major financial gap

Managing our marine insurance claim after the cargo loss has been frustrating. The insurer’s compensation didn’t reflect the true value of the goods that were damaged

Marine insurance policies are full of technical terms. When my shipment claim was short-settled, I didn’t know how to question the insurer’s decision
