School holidays set to cause surge in insurance claims
25 July 2005
School’s out for summer and the mischief children can now get up to is
endless and, according to Halifax Home Insurance, costly too.
Last year the insurer received the most claims during July and August,
generating £1.84 million of accidental damage to home and
contents and constituting over one quarter (26%) of the insurer’s
annual claim numbers for accidental damage.
Halifax Home Insurance anticipates that this summer will be no
different. It expects claims to top the £2 million mark over the next
coming months as children make the most of the school break.
Vicky Emmott, senior underwriting manager for Halifax Home Insurance,
said: "There tends to be an increase in claim numbers during the
school holidays, especially during the summer. It’s not uncommon for
us to deal with claims from mothers whose children have kicked a
football a little too hard and smashed a window.
"The mixed weather of the traditional British summer means that
children at times can be cooped up indoors and will inevitably find
exciting ways to amuse themselves. It’s this that can lead to the
damage of contents inside the home especially to electrical equipment
and furniture."
