Let the countdown begin! The New Year will be here in just a few short days! If you are planning on partying the night away at home with friends and family, it is crucial that you are aware of a few safety tips and precautions. It is also essential to make sure your Massachusetts homeowners insurance is ready for any New Year surprises. The last thing you need is to be worrying about an unexpected accident!

Remember to:

•    Make room for guests to spend the night if need be.

•    Put all fragile items and valuables away to prevent an accident or damage.

•    Serve plenty of food along with the alcohol.

•    Get in touch with a local taxi company to find out rates and when they will be running.

•    Collect your guests’ keys as they arrive to make sure no one leaves drunk.

•    Child-proof your home if you will be having little ones over.

•    Be careful with fireworks and be aware of safety precautions.

•    Supply non-alcoholic beverages, too.

•    Have an experienced adult pop the champagne. You wouldn’t want the cork going through a window or worse, hitting another person in the eye!

•    Stop serving alcohol at LEAST an hour or so before guests will be leaving.

If you do not follow these safety tips, you may have a rowdy bunch of people on your hands- never a good thing! The last thing you need to start off the New Year is an accident that was caused by your party. Luckily, your Massachusetts homeowners insurance will be able to cover any unexpected issues. A typical policy covers: replacement costs, liability, personal possessions, additional living expenses and the physical structure of your home.

Enjoy the New Year!
