Liam Scoffield, a public relations manager for a transportation company in Winnipeg, was headed to a trade fair in Chicago for the weekend. It was a quick trip, and his early morning flight was delayed, so he was really cutting it close to make it to the trade show on time. The rental company had promised him a car with GPS, but they didn\u2019t have one when he arrived. Hurriedly, he took the replacement car they offered.<\/p>\n

While he navigated the new city, he consulted the GPS on his phone to get him there. \u201cI never get on the phone when I\u2019m driving,\u201d says Liam. \u201cI only checked it on hands-free mode in a traffic-stopped zone — all perfectly legal.\u201d<\/p>\n

But as he paused at a crossroads to check for a turn, he was rear-ended by the car behind him.<\/p>\n

Taking Precautions for Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liam is safety-conscious, especially when it comes to cars. He has a perfect driving record. He wears his seatbelt, obeys traffic signals, and never has a drop to drink if he plans on driving. Naturally, before leaving, he checked the road rules for Chicago \u2013 including for cellphone use.<\/p>\n

He also double-checked his employee benefits for his out-of-town coverage. His HR manager reminded him of the Travel Navigator\u2122 service that was bundled with the employee benefits. The service would allow Liam to access travel information about his destination, including finding nearby health care facilities that would accept his benefits package. It also allowed him to communicate with his manager quickly in case of an incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice to know I had personalized information close at hand,\u201d says Liam. \u201cIt made me feel prepared.\u201d Liam downloaded the Travel Navigator\u2122 app well before he left, but he didn\u2019t really give it a second thought\u2026 until the moment of the accident.<\/p>\n

Cellphones to the Rescue<\/strong><\/p>\n

The accident was minor \u2013 just a fender bender, and Liam wasn\u2019t at fault. The other driver was friendly, and the cars were relatively undamaged. But Liam had a small pain in his shoulder, and he had heard horror stories of hidden injuries from minor car accidents becoming chronic problems if left untreated. He decided to consult a doctor as soon as possible, but he wasn\u2019t sure where to go.<\/p>\n

Then he remembered the Travel Navigator\u2122 service that he had previously downloaded. Using the mobile app, Liam located the nearest hospital that would accept his benefits and went to get checked out. He also used the one-button communication feature to contact his insurance company to let them know what was going on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so worried that my phone use had contributed to the incident,\u201d says Liam, \u201cbut in fact it contributed to the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within a few hours, Liam was assured that his shoulder wasn\u2019t injured \u2013 just a bruise from the seatbelt he had dutifully worn. He was also able to coordinate with his HR manager to make it for the last 2 days of the fair.<\/p>\n

\u201cI landed a few new clients that weekend,\u201d says Liam, \u201cincluding one that specializes in vehicle safety equipment!\u201d<\/p>\n
