Insure and Go refusal, be warned!

Insure and Go declined to cover her medical bills as the accident occurred as a result of “reckless behaviour”.


Ok she jumped in to a pool, but to class that as 'reckless and use it as an excuse not to pay is pretty despicable.

    Did she have a drink?
    I'm aware re swimming in open waters usually not covered and diving boards.

    So, I'm guessing from the photos and write up that this was a pool in a river and not a swimming pool. In that case I understand the reckless claim.

    DIVING into a pool of unknown depth ranks pretty high on the reckless scale.

    Poor girl, but,

    report suggests she ‘dived’ rather than jumped into the pool and ignored depth/pool signs (a no diving sign and depth markings likely). Also that they have reviewed CCTV footage which may suggest the comment about recklessness.

    It is hidden under the words Insure and Go in the opening paragraph. It’s not clear, I missed it at first as well.
