UK travel insurance with preexisting injury?
Hi Uk boarders
I'm in the odd position of having a non union (unjoined) broken collarbone which my consultant doesn't propose to treat unless it starts to cause me problems. Does anyone have any experience with getting snowboard travel insurance with an existing injury? The consultant has said I can go snowboarding (I think he's stress-testing me :-( ) so I guess I'm "healed", just not actually healed. I've had to cancel one trip already (gutted) and I really hope I can get away this season, but I don't want to take a policy which excludes my collarbone just in case the doc is wrong. Liz |

If the doc as said you're ok to go, then surely the state of the shoulder is irrelevant? Can you get it in writing from the consultant first, just to cover you. - Dave. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow - Securing your e-mail The Snowboard FAQ lives here - http://rssFAQ.org/ |

Cheers Derek - I'll try Amex Liz I had a bit of hassle (snapped/repaired ACL) and managed to get some sense from Trailfinders, they called their medical dept while I was at the counter, handed me the phone and I got a decision on the spot. Seems like quite a sorted company in general - I got them to endorse my cert stating they'd cover anything left knee related! Just another one to try if Amex doesn't work out. cheers, DB |
