Default Off insurance query

Hi all,

Had my first off yesterday evening - basically someone pulled out from between stationary traffic without looking while I was filtering down the outside of said traffic.

they knocked into the back of the bike (pillon footpeg) and sent it down. Scratches to all fairings, big hole in the tail fairing and a broken gear leaver. It made me sad to see my poor sv lying there but luckily I was completely unhurt.

Anyway, my questions is this - stupidly I've not got round to fixing the broken horn since buying the bike and was wondering if its possible that her insurers will refuse to pay based on this?

In the case of this accident I would never have had time to reach for the horn anyway (made even more obvious by the fact that they hit the rear of the bike - I was already most of the way past them) but wondered if it might open up a can of worms in terms of insurance payout...?

Cheers in advacne.
