The festive season is almost upon us and with it comes the smell of scented candles, the glow of Diyas and the hustle-bustle of shopping. This is the time when families venture out to shop for the festivities, but it’s also important to ask yourself – are you prepared for any mishaps?

While it may seem like a morbid question, it’s essential to secure your happiness from any accidents. You never know when uncertainty could strike, which is why it’s important to protect yourself beforehand.

For those who are skeptical, here are a few examples of mishaps that could occur during festivities:

1. Lighting Diyas can lead to curtains catching fire or missing items that need to be bought leading to a fire in the house.
2. Firecrackers during Diwali can be dangerous if they malfunction and cause damage to property and people.

Whether it’s due to misfortune, sloppiness or somebody else’s fault, the unexpected can leave a big hole in your pocket.

That’s where insurance comes in. A good insurance company offers a variety of insurance policies to protect your valuables, including auto, travel, bike, home, fire, engineering, liability, burglary and all-risk insurance.

While choosing the right policy may take a little bit of time, it’s well worth the effort in the unlikely event of any mishaps.
