abertura de inquérito porventura

English translation: where an investigation was opened, a copy of the relevant certificate

Bus/Financial - Insurance
Portuguese term or phrase: abertura de inquérito porventura
Again in an insurance contract, the end of this text has me lost:

"A Seguradora poderá exigir atestada ou certidões de autoridades competentes, bem como a resultado de inquéritos, sem prejuízo do pagamento da indenização no prazo devido em virtude do fato que produziu o sinistro ou ainda copia da certidão de abertura de inquérito porventura instaurado."

This is under the Claims Clause. Here goes my try in the second part (which I only need):

"...., nowwithstanding the indemnity payment in a time manner in view of the incurred loss or even copies of the certificate of the investigations which were in fact accidentally opened.

English translation:where an investigation was opened, a copy of the relevant certificate
Explanation:
Suggestion. I would translate this part of the sentence as:

"the insurance company may request.... or, where an investigation was opened, a copy of the relevant certificate"...

"where" - in the case / in the event / porventura

perhaps establishing the opening of the investigation


Explanation:
Without prejudice (standard legal term, at least in the UK, meaning that the payment of compensation will not necessarily be affected) to payment of compensation in due time because of the damage/loss incurred, the Insurer may require attestations, or testimonial/statements from the competent authorities, as well as the results of inquiries, or even a copy of the testimonial/statement perhaps establishing the opening of the investigation.
Seth, my attempt, of course without seeing the whole context it is difficult, but I hope this helps. I think it may refer to an initial statement/report (given to police) reporting loss/damage/theft etc.. most insurers will not consider claims unless they have been reported to the police (whereupon the victim will receive a crime number).

certificate of a potentially commenced investigation


Explanation:
The "certificate of investigation" implies the opening thereof. There is no need to translate the "abertura", since the certificate of investigation is obviously only issued when the investigation has begun.
