One of our members Hugh Bathurst, collided with another kiter in Feb 2013 which has resulted in an ongoing injury which our member is hoping to lodge an insurance claim to assist with medical expenses.

The accident occurred in the St Kilda harbor kiting area. At the time Hugh was under duress and didn?t think to get their contact details. The kiter was male , app 30 years, dark hair, 6 foot ish, solid build.
That individual needs the name of the other person involved in the collision otherwise an insurance claim can't be made.

There are two options: a) Claim thru KBV insurance (if a KBV/AKSA member), or b) other persons Home Contents policy, via public liability.

IMPORTANT:
An insurance claim will NOT be pursued unless the other party is satisfied they will not be negatively impacted in any way by either an excess or impact on future policy premiums. This would include a legal agreement stating this fact.

If you collided with, or know of someone who collided with, another kite boarder at St Kilda beach over summer please contact Hugh on 0424095545 or email him on [email protected]
PPS. Anonymous contact can be made via Hugh Lloyd PO Box 1032 Research Vic 3095

It's a bit radiculas that they won't payout untill they can find the other party.
Is that so they can sue the other party? What if they are both members? Is your insurance null and void?
Sounds awesome !

So your saying that if someone smashes into your car and takes off your insurance company wont pay out?

So what does KBV cover? I thought it was just for other people that I injury or cause damage to property. I was under the impression if I was hurt, I wasn't covered, kind of like 3rd party insurance. Can anyone clarify what a KBV member is covered for?

Could be wrong but I think that's the whole point of him needing the other riders name, so that guy's insurance can assist with the medical costs, ie it's covered under the other riders public liability, If he is insured that is

I don't see the point in KBV insurance at all if it just covers third parties.

Accidentally hit a swimmer and get sued, could change your mind maybe....

KBV Is a bunch of volunteers getting stuff done.

YOU can can always make contact via the website or FB page, forums end up with rants and witch burning so they typically keep clear.

Kbv is going above and beyond to help this bloke as the insurance is typically for a third party, just like your car - something or someone else, not you inside that car. Cheers bro!
