Phil's Story

Following a congenital heart disease diagnosis, contractor Phil Davenport had little choice but to book the surgery he’d been putting off for years, mainly due to the expense. Having not reviewed his insurance cover for many years, he didn’t realise the surgery, and other costs associated with his recovery could be paid for with the Chubb Life Trauma cover he’d had for several years.

Phil’s story shows why it’s important to regularly review your cover and understand the policies you might need, or in Phil’s case, already have in place.
