AirMed's Medical Flight Insurance Gets Called Into Action From a Traumatic Vacation

Medical Flight Insurance That Never Fails

An accident can and will happen when you least expect it. Just ask American Bar Association member John Morrow. John is a senior partner with Bradley, Boult and Cummings in Birmingham, Alabama, and has been an ABA member since 1958. He is a member of the American College of Trial Lawyers and has been listed in Best Lawyers in America for over 20 years. Not once in his life did he ever think he or any member of his family would need a medical evacuation—especially from a vacation spot he’d traveled to for many years.

In 2010 while vacationing with his wife and daughter-in-law, Morrow’s car was struck broadside by a semi-trailer truck in Colorado. The accident claimed the life of his daughter-in-law, and John and his wife, Martha, were rushed to a nearby hospital. They were both suffering from multiple, severe injuries when they were admitted to a hospital in Ft. Collins.

Because John and his family had a membership with AirMed, they knew that they could return home to their local hospital in Birmingham on an AirMed medical jet, but they didn’t realize just how comprehensive the AirMed service was. 

 “Once my son contacted AirMed, they took it from there. Everything, and I mean everything, was taken care of for us, even the ground ambulance to and from the hospitals,” said Mr. Morrow. “My wife was hurt worse than me, and our son, who is also a member of ABA, stayed in Colorado to help us. During this difficult time, it was extremely comforting that we could all be on the same AirMed jet back home. The AirMed crew was extremely competent, helpful and professional.”

AirMed provides award-winning, bedside-to-bedside service to you and your family if you are injured in another country or just across a few state lines. “I can’t express how much AirMed meant to me and my family during that devastating time,” added Mr. Morrow. “AirMed was truly our angel in the sky. Our period of hospitalization was far from over, and we were in no condition to travel any other way. We do not know what we would have done without AirMed.”

American Bar Insurance has arranged for ABA members to receive substantial discounts on annual AirMed memberships. There are no deductibles, no out-of-pocket costs, and no co-pays. AirMed is true peace of mind for any traveler.
