Insurance

Out of curiosity how many people take there insurance papers with them up the mountain ????? I was knocked over by ski boarder taken to hospital torn ligaments in shoulder £250 medical bill ??? Could not claim back on insurance as did not have the other person insurance details ,,, plus at the time that's the last thing u think of asking 4 insurance details ???? Still off from work 7 was on

re:Insurance

Not heard that before but I guess it depends on type of policy
Hope u get better

re:Insurance

I wouldn't mention the ski boarder and just say you fell and injured yourself whilst skiing. They should still have to cover you. Isn't that what insurance is for?

re:Insurance

Our rep came with me to hospital done all the phoning all to do with insurance details said should have no problem claiming ??? Like u said that's the whole point of taking insurance out if it needs to b used very annoying ,,,, watching webcam bansko glad we went when we did in Jan not a lot snow at mo roll on next Jan

re:Insurance

Even without personal insurance, an EHIC would cover your medical bill

re:Insurance

Did have my ethic card with me ... But u would think u have insurance that would cover you but apparently not ,,,,

re:Insurance

Sobering and useful message, Karen. Thanks for posting it. I am surprised you need details of whoever went into you - it's not like it's a car accident!

Would you care to 'name and shame' the insurance company as a warning? Regardless I will be checking with my own company when I come to renew.

Wishing you a speedy recovery

re:Insurance

Hi naming and shaming insurance company !!!!!!!!! Puffin !!!!!!!!! It's under written with German company ,,,,,,,,

re:Insurance

GOT MY SPELLING WRONG SHOULD HAV READ EHIC

re:Insurance

I now always have my health card and a copy of my insurance policy in my ski/board jacket pocket , also its worth scanning and printing off a copy of your passport (photo page ) and keeping that with the other documents. stay safe.
