In a case where a family's vehicle went off a the road into a body of water, but all got out OK after a traumatic moment ... would an insurance company typically pay for mental health care?
When a homeowner has a burglary or a driver has a crash, all it normally takes is a call to the insurance company and a description of the loss to activate the policy. But aviation liability insurance is different. It is activated by a finding of negligence on the part of an airline. If there is no negligence, then arguably there is no liability, and no obligation to pay claims.
Have a feeling we'll be seeing more insurance kiosks popping up at airports in the future.
