A severe crash left him with critical brain and spine injuries in a third-world country with limited medical resources. While the hospital staff in Samoa did everything they could, the lack of resources put his recovery and care at risk.
Thankfully, Steve had travel insurance, which made all the difference. Allianz swiftly arranged for an air ambulance to bring him back to New Zealand—ensuring he received the urgent, specialised care he needed.
