A+ Experience: A Traumatic Vehicle Collision resulting to a Serious Injury in Cambodia
Road traffic accidents are among the leading causes of death in Southeast Asia. According to a report, low and middle-income emerging countries now account for half of the world’s motorized vehicles but already suffer 90% of road traffic fatalities.
In Cambodia, the government has estimated that road crashes cost the kingdom more than 300 million U.S. dollars a year. Last year, the country reported 1,646 fatalities from the accidents. Meanwhile, in the first quarter of 2021, the number of road fatalities in Cambodia reached 433 people.
Fortunately, there is a 15% drop in road casualties because of traffic law enforcement and people’s better awareness of the traffic law.
But sometimes, no matter how careful a person is, unexpected mishaps can still take place and they are something people cannot control.
Our client’s serious accident while staying in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
What was supposed to be a normal day in Cambodia turned out to be a traumatic experience for our client when he encountered a serious traffic accident last June 2021.
Our client is an expat who currently lives in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. While driving a motorcycle, a car from another direction suddenly collided with him. He was wearing a protective helmet, but his body was seriously injured. As part of the emergency procedure, he was admitted to a Local Private Hospital for treatment and recovery.
His hospital expenses escalated to almost USD 18,000 but the good thing was, his A+ health plan took care of all the medical expenses for his hospital admission and treatment procedures. Therefore, there were no out-of-pocket and additional expenses made.
