Miller broke his ankle while visiting an ancient ruin. Turkey is home to historical sites that, due to their age, can have worn and uneven walking paths. Miller was exploring the Ephesus ruins. He was preoccupied with taking photos and looking at the old architecture. Suddenly, Miller took a step and his foot slipped from under him. He fell and broke his ankle on impact with the ground. Miller was evacuated from the site by a local ambulance and transported to a nearby hospital. The doctors confirmed that his ankle needed urgent treatment. Miller was on a group tour and still had a few stops to visit, but because of his injury he needed to cancel his trip. Unsure of what to do, he contacted his travel insurer for assistance.

Sandra was shopping when she tripped and fractured her wrist. She had slipped on uneven ground and instinctively threw her hands out in front of her to brace for the fall. The impact bent her wrist backwards and she had landed on her arm. Assuming it was just a sprain, Sandra continued with her shopping. After a few hours, the pain had become worse and she decided to visit a doctor. The hospital scans showed that Sandra had a bad break and required immediate surgery. When asked for payment, Sandra contacted her travel insurance provider to cover the cost of the surgery and other expenses incurred as a result of the fall.
