Cover-More customer Dan Mannix's story

Описание: Daniel Mannix, age 22 years.

Dan was on a four-month trip with two friends through the United States and Europe.

The trio arrived in San Francisco in the late afternoon and booked into their hostel before going out to see some of the city’s sights. Dan was ‘king hit’ and was taken to a local hospital—his nose was fractured on both sides and he also had a fractured eye socket and cheekbone. Doctors were concerned that he could lose sight in his right eye.

Dan required extensive facial surgery. He had four plates inserted around his eye and reconstructive surgery on his nose. He remained in hospital for four days following the surgery and then in San Francisco for two weeks to recover. Dan’s surgeon advised him and his friends that he was not able to fly for two weeks following the surgery, so the group altered their travel plans to stay together and ensure Dan recovered.

Cover-More covered Dan’s hospital bills, which amounted to more than $135,000. We reimbursed Dan and his two friends for the extra accommodation they needed in San Francisco during Dan’s recovery, as well as for the flights they missed due to their altered travel plans.

“It was a massive relief to have Cover-More supporting me. I have no idea what I would have done if I didn’t have Cover-More. I probably would have had to drop out of uni if I didn’t have (travel insurance with) Cover-More. If I ever travel again, I’ll definitely be booking with Cover-More.” Dan Mannix
