Challenge:
How Trauma cover can change your life
- Jamie, 35
- Married with 2 children
- Stroke last November
- 5 months off work
Jamie had a stroke last November and “Didn’t see it coming”. There was no family history of strokes and aside from being a little stressed at work; Jamie was the healthiest he’d ever been.
The stroke came as a huge shock to Jamie, his family and also his colleagues, who initially feared the worst. While the worst didn’t happen, it was 5 months before Jamie was able to return to work, and even then, only in a part-time capacity. He would have been forced to go back much earlier, however, if he had not had appropriate insurance cover.
Fortunately, for the past five years, Jamie has been covered by Trauma insurance recommended by ST Risk. The payout enabled him to take time to recover. Jamie has suffered – like many stroke victims – from heavy fatigue. The brain is rewiring itself to some degree. Jamie would often have days when he was very lethargic even when all he was doing is relaxing.
“The claims process was very easy,” he said. “I never had any concerns the claim wouldn’t go smoothly and having this means money is one less thing I have to worry about.”
Jamie is one of the lucky ones. His experience has instilled in him the importance of trauma cover. “To compromise my recovery because I didn’t have this cover would have added a stress that I didn’t need. The amount you pay for insurance isn’t much and yet the peace of mind it gives you is so high.”
