Insurer says failure to wear seatbelt invalidate claims
Europ Assistance is refusing to repatriate British teenager Dicken Richards, (18) who suffered a head injury in France because he was not wearing a seatbelt and in an overloaded car, the Times reports.
A spokeswoman: “As is standard with all travel insurance policies, exclusions apply to any claims that relate to a customer being involved in any malicious, reckless, illegal or criminal act. Specifically, Mr Richards was not wearing a seatbelt, as required by law.”
Richards’ travel companion Ben Crozier, 19, was killed in the accident.
