Surveyor's verdict / key conditions सर्वेयर की जाँच

Verdict

Rare but a named peril. Payable only when the insured can show that proper precautions were taken (coolant + anti-freeze mix in the radiator, washer fluid with anti-freeze). If the garage finds plain water in the radiator, the damage is considered contributorily negligent — insurer may reduce or deny. Confirm Met Dept minimum temperature for the location and date.

दुर्लभ पर नामित peril। तभी देय जब insured दिखा सके कि उचित सावधानियाँ ली गई थीं (radiator में coolant + anti-freeze mix, anti-freeze वाला washer fluid)। अगर garage को radiator में सिर्फ़ पानी मिले — contributory negligence; बीमा कंपनी कम कर सकती है या deny। उस स्थान और तारीख़ का Met Dept न्यूनतम तापमान पक्का करें।
