Brits urged to check home cover before Bonfire Night
Britons gearing up for this year's Bonfire Night need to make sure they have the right insurance cover to avoid blowing a hole in their finances.
Price comparison website Moneysupermarket.com has warned homeowners to check the small print of their home contents policy for personal liability protection before Saturday November 5th.
This is because most insurers provide cover worth up to £2 million, but this figure varies across providers, it revealed.
The company went on to highlight recent government statistics which showed more than 6,600 people are injured in firework accidents every year, adding that householders could be liable for a personal injury claim if an accident happens on their property.
Peter Harrison, home insurance expert at the website, said: "For those hosting a fireworks party at home, it is essential to ensure your home insurance policy is up to date and that you have adequate personal liability cover.
He added: "In the event of an accident such as someone getting burnt on the bonfire, you could find yourself liable for any injury or damage if you are not covered by insurance."
