My 7D has died warning about weather proofing!

Glad to hear they paid up and that's a good point about the battery grip. Thanks for getting back to me.

Guess thats why insurance is so high. I think its out of order

It depends on the policy, if accidental damage is covered then I can't see why they wouldn't pay out. You tend to pay more on the premium if this cover is required.
I used to have accidental damage cover via my contents insurance and if I made a claim my premium was adjusted upwards.

I find your comment offensive, I fell and the camera was damaged end of story whether it hit concrete or sea water the camera was damaged beyond repair.

I tried to get the warranty to cover it and it would not so I claimed on my insurance that's what insurance is for I have pro level insurance had to provide a engineers report witness statements and several other items of paper work for my claim my policy cost me more a year than my bloody van insurance so if I'm paying for it I expect it to pay out if you have nothing constructive to say Boddie I'd not bother speaking at all.
