Ready with Insurance or Not, Accidents Happen
Filed Under: Blogging
Purchasing tourists insurance is always a great idea, as accident-prone Jane found out. Having traveled without any form of insurance for foreign travel, experience taught her that it is always best to travel with insurance. Accidents can happen anywhere, and to anyone.
When she went for a trip to Brussels, she had taken her usual tourists insurance and sure enough, on board, she happened to be standing up when the airplane hit a rough patch and she fell down heavily, breaking her ankle bone. She had to have an ambulance waiting when she landed and had to be immediately taken to a hospital to get it set.
During the trip, she had to employ a chauffeured car during the entire stay due to her injury and as luck would have it, her car met with a head on collusion with another car, resulting in considerable damage to the car. Thankfully, she was spared any injuries this time.
Both the accidents were covered under the insurance plan she had purchased and her medical expenses were covered. The repairs to the car were also covered in the insurance and she was able to get the entire amount shown on the Confirmation of Coverage for this. So, regardless of whether you are accident-prone or not, healthy or otherwise, it’s best to buy insurance before departing on your trip.
