    I, ***********************, purchased a flight ticket for my business partner *********************. There was insurance purchased for this flight as well from AIG Travel Guard. After opening a claim and providing all the documentation the reimbursement (the service that was paid for and written in their policies) was denied.

Unfortunately, this reason does not fall within one of the named, covered perils on the policy." The claim reviewer includes the list of causes of trip interruptions that the company covers.

(attached). As you can see this kind of situation MUST be reimbursed according to the insurance company's stated policies and rules. However, I was denied.

    Coverage decisions are made according to the terms and conditions of the Policy of Insurance. Initially, your claim (trip interruption and trip delay due to a weather related event) was denied on April 22. After speaking with our Claims Department, we understand you had a conversation on May 6 with a claims adjuster and your claim for trip delay was reopened. Currently we are waiting for additional information from you to complete the review. If there is anything additional we can help with regarding your claim, please contact us at **************.
