[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”container”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]These are crazy times we\u2019re living in, huh? With such unprecedented things happening, it\u2019s easy to get a little panicky and make some knee-jerk decisions. But if there\u2019s one thing we can tell you (not just from an insurance perspective but also because we\u2019re tradies ourselves), it\u2019s really important to keep your insurance in place right now. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

Your stuff can still get stolen<\/strong><\/p>\n

During times of crisis, crimes like theft tend to go up because people feel more unstable and are more reckless with their actions – during the last few lockdowns, we’ve definitely seen an increase in tool and vehicle theft. Even though most of us are at home during this time, doesn\u2019t mean someone can\u2019t be opportunistic and nick your prized possessions!<\/p>\n

Things can still go pear-shaped<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you own a business or not, damage can still be done to your premises or your assets. Electrical fires, flooding from burst pipes and other damaging events can still happen, even when you\u2019re not there, so it\u2019s important to make sure you\u2019re still covered in case anything goes wrong!<\/p>\n

People can still take legal action<\/strong><\/p>\n

It might be a job you\u2019ve recently finished where some damage was done, or those burst pipes might have flooded the neighbouring building – whatever it is, you\u2019ll still need to be covered for things like public liability, just in case. When you or your business is laying low and not making much money, the last thing you need is a lawsuit on your hands.<\/p>\n
