One of our most complicated cases happened to a member of one of our Student groups traveling in France, and the fact that he had his Seven Corners Insurance Idenfication Card in his pocket allowed critical treatment to begin immediately.

A 15 year old boy was involved in a motorcycle accident in a remote village in France, and he had suffered a complicated head trauma and was unable to communicate. The local hospital where he was rushed found his Seven Corners ID card in his pocket and contacted us. We provided all of the information we had about the member and contacted the family. After being stabilized, it was determined that the best course of action was to bring him back to the US. Once his family was contacted and we located a hospital in the US and briefed them on his condition, we made all of the arrangements and brought him home. When situations like this occur, it is key to be have as much information available as possible in your presences to ensure all medical treatement steps are taking without delay.
