Sorry guys, and gals, but for some reason I got this thought stuck in my head, and was just wondering if anyone else had an opinion on it (other than that I need to find something more productive to do).
In our department we are covered under an insurance package that covers us for injuries, etc, that we may receive while on a call. We are covered from the moment our pager goes to the moment we are secure from the call.
So, lets say I am driving home, in our district, and get into a car accident. Now, I have my pager with me, like always, and shortly after the accident, it goes off. Now, lets say it is a bad accident and I end up dying as result; would I still be covered for death benefits?
Some could argue that I would be because the department was called out, and I died during the call. Others might say that it would be void because I was involved in the accident prior to the call being placed.
It was just a random thought I had on the way home from work this long weekend... I think it might be time for that drink...
