hiddenmuseBritney Spears - An Insurance Agent's Worst Nightmare
How *anyone* can forget arthroscopic surgery that was performed five years ago is beyond me. It's not like getting a tooth filled - arthroscopic surgery is serious, and leaves you incapacitated for at least several days.
Sigh. My prediction? She'll lose the case for withholding the information on her pre-existing condition (even if it was one month shy of the 5 year threshold ... it's still in the "within 5 years" category). In layman's terms? She willfully omitted information, in order to obtain the policy.
It's like telling your agent that you've had no accidents in 3 years, getting the coverage, having an accident, then the company finds out that you had an accident 2 years ago. Basically, she could be considered to have committed insurance fraud. *eg*
