I had applied for transfer of registration certificate of the car that I had purchased in my name on May 24th, 2015. Unfortunately, my car met an accident on 28th, while the RC was in the process of getting transferred. I got the new RC with my name on May 29th(the next day after accident) and I got insurance transferred in my name on June 1st. Can I file claim with the insurance company to pay me for the expenses incurred to me for getting the car repaired?

I searched a lot on google but couldn't find any similar case. Please suggest. I hadn't informed my insurance company because I wasn't expecting them to accept my claim because the insurance wasn't in my name on the material date of accident. I was thinking of getting insurance transferred after receiving the RC and the accident happened even before I got the RC.
