R00tj00se 0 #1 December 20, 2002 Just getting round to sort out some travel insurance for the coming year and wondered how many of you have made a claim and do you declare it on future travel insurance. Reason I ask is that just under 2 years ago I injured my back on a hard opening - anterior compression of my t5 if I remember correctly. Now I've no problem putting this down on a travel insurance form but what worries me is when they say that they won't pay out for any injury relating to the old injury. If I was to get a compression fracture of one of my other vertebrae would they pay out or would/could they say that it was linked to the existing injury? Do they have to get a medical doctor to back up their claims? If I was to have a bad landing and become paralysed would they just look at it as being a back injury and hence related to the existing problem? I've tried getting an answer out of a couple of the insurance firms but they just give out a standard answer of 'You would not be insured against the pre-exisiting injury or any claims relating to it' (or something like that). You just can't pin them down to specifics. Anyone work in the insurance sector or has anyone had a similair problem? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
