Insurance nightmare after holiday crash The Corkman
THE family of a Mallow man injured while travelling in Cambodia have slammed the company he took out travel insurance from prior to his trip. The insurers, however, said that 30-year-old Michael O'Riordan's cover was not valid as he had taken out the policy after he had left the country.
Mr O'Riordan (pictured) was critically injured in a bus accident on the Cambodian/Vietnamese border last month. The bus in which Michael was a passenger in collided with a grain truck en route to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam in the early hours of Sunday, July 31 last.
Michael's father John described the residency requirements of the policy as ' unclear' and accused the company of being 'forensic in their behaviour in terms of being unhelpful'.
Michael, he said, is lucky to be alive and now recovering in CUH. THE family of a Mallow man injured while travelling in Cambodia has slammed the companies he took out travel insurance from prior to his trip, describing their actions as 'unreal'.
