It's October and that means that Halloween is on it’s
way! We love any excuse to celebrate
around the office. However, I wouldn't be a good insurance agent if I didn't
give a few good liability insurance tips too.
You've heard most Halloween advice over and over.
Pack a flashlight for when it gets dark.
Put reflective tape on children's costumes.
Check the kid's candy before letting them eat any.
But what about the risks at your home?
Your Homeowners Insurance covers you if someone is injured on
your property. But there are a few things you can do to prevent accidents before
they happen!
1. Change your lightbulbs. Is your porch light burned
out? What about lights along sidewalks? Good lightning will help prevent children (and
adults) from tripping.
2. Clear hazards. Tree limbs in your yard? A hole
you've been meaning to fill? These are all potential hazards that could cause an injury and
subject you to a liability claim. Clean them up before you have people trick-or-treating
at your home!
3. No open flames. While candle filled pumpkins are
fun to make, they can be dangerous too. If you use any open flame candles, make sure
they are up high and away from any loose costume pieces.
