Scooter Crash Day

"Shinbone Sunday", potentially the busiest day of the year for mobility scooter accidents, but few are insured.

Scooter Warning!

Warning for uninsured scooters.

Insurance for Amputees

Amputees and the limb impaired can now benefit from access to bespoke home insurance products following the launch of a new scheme by charity Limbcare.

Declare Your Medical Condition!

Research from Sainsbury’s Travel Insurance reveals that more than a quarter (27%) of holidaymakers who have enjoyed a trip overseas in the past two years had a serious or long term medical condition such as diabetes or a heart condition at the time. Of these travellers, 15% admitted they had not told their travel insurer about their condition and 11% said they only disclosed part of their medical history.

Mobilty Insurance Firm Created

An Insurance firm has been created as a direct response to disappointment with the range and quality of mobility equipment insurance products currently available.

Mark Effenberg ‘s son has cerebral palsy and uses powered mobility equipment so he developed Blue Badge Mobility.

The company will provide policies covering use, protection and liability relating to scooter, wheelchair and home equipment, and will price-match like-for-like policies currently on the market. Other care-related insurance products will be launched throughout 2014 - all aimed at people who want to remain independent and receive care at home, and for those that care for them.

Typical guideline premium prices will be £24 a year for wheelchair cover, and from £59 for electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

"We simply do not have the overheads of the big insurers - and that means we can pass on cost savings to customers," said Mark.
