As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, All of us at Merit Insurance Group wanted to take a moment to share some important information regarding common insurance claims during this time of year.
Thanksgiving is a time for celebration and gathering with loved ones, but it can also bring about unexpected incidents that may require insurance coverage. Here are some of the most common Thanksgiving insurance claims:
- Kitchen Fires: Cooking-related accidents, such as grease fires or oven mishaps, can lead to significant property damage. It’s crucial to stay vigilant and practice safe cooking techniques.
- Slips and Falls: With a house full of guests, the risk of slips and falls increases. Ensure that your home is free of hazards and take precautions to prevent accidents.
- Car Accidents: Thanksgiving weekend sees a significant increase in traffic, which unfortunately leads to a higher number of car accidents. Stay alert, avoid distractions, and never drink and drive.
- Property Theft: With many people traveling during the holiday, burglaries and thefts tend to rise. Take necessary precautions to secure your property and consider installing a security system.
While we hope that you won’t need to file any claims this Thanksgiving, it’s essential to be prepared. If you have any insurance related questions you can call us at 708-845-5466 or visit our website www.meritinsurancegroup.com
Wishing you a safe and joyful Thanksgiving holiday!
