AI-drafted from filed documents · reviewed: pendingwhether a specific event is coveredStonebridge Casualty Insurance Company

Stonebridge Casualty Insurance Company's filed travel insurance policy in Kansas (KS) states it pays for trip cancellation or interruption due to unforeseeable sickness, injury, or death of the policyholder, a family member, dependent, or traveling companion [1]. Cancellation due to sickness or injury requires a doctor’s examination or treatment prior to cancellation, and the condition must be so disabling, in a doctor’s written opinion, as to reasonably cause trip cancellation [1]. Cancellation due to a family member’s or dependent’s injury or sickness is covered only if the condition is life-threatening or requires the policyholder’s care [1]. Death of a family member, dependent, or traveling companion is covered only if the death occurs within 30 days of the scheduled trip departure date or check-in date [1]. The policy also covers cancellation or interruption if a traveling companion has a valid claim under a Stonebridge Casualty travel insurance policy [1]. These events must not have been reasonably foreseeable, must be outside the policyholder’s control, and must substantially impair the ability to travel [1].
