A young Victoria woman’s dream trip to Thailand turned into a nightmare after every bone in her foot was broken on Saturday when she was hit by a truck while riding a scooter.
She had purchased travel insurance for her trip that maxes out claim payments at $250,000, but the company underwriting the policy has so far not approved payment for the claim, putting a financial strain on her family, who have set up an online fundraising page to help with the mounting bills. He estimates that the bill could easily hit $60,000 before the reconstructive surgeries needed to repair her right foot. Due to the force of the collision, some of the bones in her foot were lost or shattered.
