A British woman is trapped in the United States after suffering a horrific fall at a summer camp, with her travel insurance company refusing to cover the cost of her flight home.
The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, was working at the camp when the accident occurred, leaving her with serious injuries that required immediate medical attention.
Despite holding comprehensive travel insurance, the firm has denied her claim, citing unspecified policy exclusions. This has left her stranded thousands of miles from home, unable to afford the expensive return flight.
Friends and family have launched a fundraising campaign to help bring her back to the UK, describing the situation as a "living nightmare."
"She’s in agony, both physically and emotionally," said one close friend. "The insurance company’s refusal to help has made an already traumatic situation even worse."
The case has sparked outrage among fellow travellers, with many calling for stricter regulations on insurance providers to prevent similar incidents.
Experts warn that travellers should always scrutinise policy details before purchasing insurance, particularly regarding medical coverage and repatriation clauses.
For now, the woman remains in the US, relying on the kindness of strangers and the support of loved ones to get her home.
