They just informed me that they will not cover this claim since "even though the phone is covered for accidents, we did not take reasonable precautions".

If someone other than my son dropped the trousers in the washing, it would have been fine, but since he did it himself, they will not cover it.

So, remember people. If something similar happens to you, lie!
