Personal Liability Insurance: What Happens When Someone Gets Hurt on Your Property

April 2, 2017

When purchasing insurance Boston MA residents may consider the various risks they face throughout the year, some of the most common being hurricanes, tornadoes, and winter storms. One thing that often does not come to mind is the things some people will unfortunately resort to during a disaster. One such act is looting.

There is a certain percentage of the population that will take any opportunity on offer to relieve us of our possessions. Whether it’s after a flood, a tornado or an earthquake, home owners often report having returned home after an evacuation period to find prized possessions missing. It’s an ideal time for looters – emergency services usually have their hands full, and residents and business owners have been told to evacuate or have done so for their own safety.

While you may be spared any real damage to your home during a natural disaster, you still may suffer loss at the hands of looters. To have your home damaged and then find that your possessions have been stolen would just make the experience all the more devastating – Mother Nature and human nature at their worst, at the same time!

For every home owner and business owner it’s always important to have the backup of an insurance policy that can compensate your losses in a range of circumstances. Do you have adequate insurance? Boston MA residents and business owners who need policies or are seeking quotes are welcome to contact us.
