Quoted $6,700 flight home despite travel insurance after family death

I bought travel insurance for tix purchased on Priceline.com. My travel companion had a death in the family and we had to cut our trip short. Priceline refused to change my ticket home (though it is a covered event) and referred me to AIG Insurance to file a claim, who will then examine my claim and render a decision and appropriate refund within 4 to 6 weeks. Priceline then quoted me a fare of $6,700 for the flight home from DUB to LAX. I have the voicemail of this ridiculous extortion demand saved in my voicemail. I then simply had to empty my bank account by buying a new ticket home. My girlfriend who picked me up at LAX last night told me she's heard other tales of this regarding Priceline and their traveled insurance offered. Avoid! Avoid!
