TRAVEL TIPS

Stranded in Germany

Bad things can happen when you travel. All it takes is one misplaced step. Anne and Daniel H. are very experienced travelers and understand the importance of trip protection. The couple from Georgia is enjoying their retirement by frequently going on long trips, usually six to eight times a year.


A while ago, they were in Germany when the unexpected happened. Anne fell backward while walking up a scenic cobblestone street that led up a hill. She had a bad fall and suffered a subdural hematoma that required emergency surgery.


It was a life-and-death situation, she even had to be helicoptered to a specific clinic. To the couple’s surprise, there was also post-op trouble. After Anne’s discharge, their current trip insurance would not help them get home. There was confusion over a German medical rule prohibiting patients from driving and flying within three months of any neurosurgery. Anne thought she was not cleared for air travel although the rule only prohibits such patients from driving a vehicle themselves or piloting an aircraft.

The Value of Travel Insurance


Fortunately, through a friend they learned about an air ambulance company that was responsive and willing to help Ann get home safely and quickly. Weeks later, both Ann and Daniel learned that it’s not enough to have trip insurance but to have qualified, responsive insurance that will guide you every step of the way through these unexpected travel episodes.
