Additional tips to prevent summer insurance claims

Be prepared for severe weather

  • Secure outdoor furniture, plants, and other items that could be damaged by strong winds or storms.
  • Have an emergency kit with essential supplies in case of power outages or severe weather conditions.

Understand your insurance coverage

  • Review your insurance policies to ensure you have adequate coverage for potential summer-related risks.
  • Understand the terms and conditions of your policies, including deductibles, limits, and exclusions.
  • If needed, consider purchasing additional coverage or riders to protect against specific risks.


By following these preventive measures, you can reduce the likelihood of insurance claims during the summer months and enjoy a safer and worry-free season.
