The holidays are a time for family, friends, and celebration, often meaning a house full of excited guests. But the more people you have on your property, the greater the chance of an unexpected accident.
Understanding your Homeowners Liability Coverage is essential before the holiday rush begins.
Your Liability Shield is Critical
Your home insurance liability coverage is designed to protect you financially if a guest is injured on your property and you are found legally responsible. This coverage helps pay for the injured party’s medical bills and covers your legal defense costs if you are sued.
This is especially relevant during the holidays, when risks increase due to:
- Slips and Falls: Icy walkways, cluttered living rooms, or spills from celebratory drinks.
- Pet Interactions: An excited dog might accidentally bite a guest or knock over a child.
- Holiday Decor Hazards: Unstable ladders used for decorations or poorly secured electrical cords.
Be Proactive: Tips for Managing Guest Liability
We believe caring makes the difference by helping you identify and eliminate potential hazards:
- Clear Pathways: Keep sidewalks, steps, and driveways clear of ice, snow, or debris.
- Check Decking & Railings: Ensure any outdoor deck railings or steps are sturdy and secure before heavy use.
- Pet Management: If your dog tends to get overexcited, consider keeping them in a separate room or securely leashed while guests are present.
- Review Your Limits: If you are hosting a large party or own significant assets, check with Parkway Insurance Group to see if your current liability limits are sufficient. We may recommend increasing your limits or adding an Umbrella Policy for an extra layer of protection.
