"Sorry you're not covered": Benz woman gets bad insurance news after killing a cow

Thai caption:  (Mercedes) Benz hit a cow! But insurance won't pay up!

Picture: Ban Muang

 

A company owner who killed a cow in an accident in Buri Ram in the north east of Thailand got some bad news when the insurance assessor arrived.

 

Sorry, he said, you're not covered for hitting animals. 

 

Natthiya, 36, had been driving her Mercedes Benz anlong the Buriram to Surin Road in the Wat Thung Pho area when she said the cow just dashed out and she could not brake in time. 

 

It damaged her car and police found it - a calf aged about 3 months - lying dead with a broken leg about 20 meters away. 

 

The insurance man explained that she was not covered for hitting animals that were being reared.

Considering the fact that just replacing a rear view mirror can cost around 20K baht (quoted price from Benz dealer), you can imagine the cost fixing this mess..

Oh dairy me..I bet she wasn't a-moo-sed!

She's entitled to claim the dead animal and to sell it for a few baht....

Holy cow! I think she'll have a pretty big beef with her insurance company.

It is always extremely disappointing to learn that you are not covered by your insurance policy, when you take out a cow. Happens to the best of us!

The moral is never hit a poor under aged cow ????

She should have checked that when she took out the insurance stupid woman

We  should check our policies it seems,what do they mean by "being reared"??

Have you checked you are covered for that specific incident, bet none of us have

Sounds like a bunch of bull to me.

Sorry couldn't resist.

 

Why did the cow try to cross the road ?

 

To get to the udder side ?

 

 

Image result for what do you call a cow that got hit by a car

Next time she should aim at rearing Farang. 100% covered.

I think it means insurance void if cow rear ended ????

I'm not surprised the insurance doesn't cover bestiality.

Did she get the carcass for meat??

 

That  excuse sounds like udder bull s h i t e.

One of those daft practices in LOS, letting cows roam the streets looking for grass.

 

The owner of the stock should be made to cough up for the repairs..

Might have been someone on a street corner selling dope.

Looks like she’s the one being reared now.

This is an absolute ’get out’ by the insurance company. 
 

It’s entirely unreasonable that insurance refuses to cover a ‘no fault’ accident, this is exactly what insurance if for.

 

What is the insurance company - I’ll be sure to never use them. Thus is where social media & naming & shaming counts.

I believe the  law in Thailand is that the animal owner is liable and the insurance policy uses that as a an avoidance. Apart from claiming the dead animal as  compensation it leaves little recourse to the  Benz owner other than a futile attempt to sue. I guess if it was a feral animal the policy accepts.

Have often wondered hat happens in the  case of stray dogs? No owner per se' but are they considered non domesticated or "reared"? Have seen some  significant damage  caused by "dog strike" !
