HI
I took out some travel insurance with Flexicover for a 2 week hol on Sal Cape Verde
http://www.moneysupermarket.com/travelinsurance/policy/AMTprem_KF_071107.pdf
On 3rd day had an accident after scuba diving the operators' boat engine started up whilst I was in the water and propeller cut my legs. Im ok now but was 39 stitches and very painful still do not have full movement in right leg.
I have pursued this until blue in the face. Flexicover paid my hospital bill, but my holiday was ruined and 2 internal flights were unused/cancelled as I could not fly. Flexicover will not pay this or the phone calls I made on mobile during hospital time. I was on my own so things were not easy.
I lost a badly needed Holiday and alot of money, is there anything I can do?
The legal side is trying to chase the dive op but they are refusing to respond, There are not PADI registered, they are BSAC and I have contacted them also Padi as one instrutor is PADI registered. Have also contacted DAN insurance as center has DAN. They say they cannot help as boat is not covered.
I have sent flexicover all my receipts and photocopies, I have 2 excellent witness accounts but still no luck.
Need some cash back very overdrawn now and fed up:mad:
If anyone can help?
This was not a package holiday I got a flight and sorted rest myself
Many thanks
