The demand for payment made by the insured to the insurer following the occurrence of the event insured against is called a claim. In simpler terms, it is a request made by the insured to the insurer to provide compensation for the loss or damage that occurred and is covered under the insurance policy. For example, if a person's car is insured and gets stolen, the insured can make a claim to the insurance company to get compensated for the loss of the car. The insurance company will then investigate the claim and if it is valid, they will provide the insured with the compensation amount as per the policy terms.
