Injured before holiday

slinkydonkey

Hello, so I triped and fell whilst out running 2 weeks ago and have been working from home for the last two weeks. I can't bend my left knee so i can't drive and walking is hard. I did phone my holiday insurance about this but they said they need to know the diagnostics before they can do anything.


I can see why they are saying this but in the mean time I am having to pay out of taxis's and I can't drive anyhwere ...if I had an automatic I might be able to.


I am going to find out from my consultant on Thursday what it is I have done.
Has anyone else been in this poistion before?

I suggest you post in the insurance and/or holiday forums rather than the reclaim PPI and insurance forum ! You arent trying to reclaim insurance

Your holiday insurance is not going to pay out for non holiday related costs such as a rental car whilst injured though if that's what you are asking.

Thanks for your advice however this forum is the " Reclaim PPI & Other Insurance" as this is Other Insurnace the I don't understand your point?



I had a feeling they wouldn't seems odd that with Car Insurance I would be able to claim more?

Seriously?
This forum is about trying to reclaim for payments you made for PPI or other insurance on the grounds it wasn't sold right.

Its not about CLAIMING on your travel or car insurance, such as 'had an accident in my car", or "my flight was cancelled" or in your case " got injured and as a result cannot go on holiday so i want my flights and hotel booking costs refunded".
Those are totally different things to saying that your insurance didn't cover you for what you thought it and that was fraudulent and so you want your insurance money refunded.
So thats why its the completely wrong forum for what you want.

Speaking of which does your car insurance cover you for injuries that prevent you driving? Worth a call?

Putting it simply, this is the missale forum.
