Hello I've just looked at Leisure Guard Lite and it says this...
You must contact the medical emergency assistance team as soon as possible before incurring expenses over £500.
How in the world do you do that when you've just been involved in a bad accident and all you want is immediate medical attention and to be taken to hospital?
Does that mean should you be taken to a private hospital they will not now payout because they are using this as a get out claus?

If you go into the actual policy wording then you find this:
So providing that there is a reasonable explanation for not contacting them immediately, I can't see that they could refuse to pay out due to lack of contact.Costs above £500 not authorised by us will not be covered. If you are physically unable to contact us, someone else must contact us on your behalf as soon as practicably possible0
