Okay without facts this will be difficult but this may give you some insight into what happened. They may be saying that the diagnosis did not indicate accidental bodily injury for a few reasons. 1) The policy specifically states that your type of injury is not covered. 2) Your medical expert shows something that is not consistent with your story of injury. 3) They are trying to give you the run around and get you to go away without having to pay you.You may want to talk to an attorney in your area.
