Why do I need Pet Insurance?Like us dogs and cats get ill and have accidents; for example your pet could become ill through something it has eaten, injured in an attack by another animal or contract a range of illnesses. Statistics show that in most cases dogs and cats need treatment at least once a year; unfortunately vet fees can cost a lot of money and they are rising all the time. That's where pet insurance comes in; pet insurance gives you the peace of mind that you will be able to afford the best treatment for your pet if he or she becomes sick. There is also another very important reason to get pet insurance. If your pet runs out into the road and causes an accident you will be liable for paying compensation to the injured parties. This could run into hundreds of thousands of pounds, possibly millions. Pet insurance carries with it public liability cover so that you are protected from such claims. |

Why do I need Household Buildings Insurance?Have you ever thought of what that means? Well that mock Tudorbethan gothic pile in Elmwood Close, off Treewood Drive, off Golf Course way just behind the leisure centre next to the park belongs to you. Well, your name is on the mortgage, but the deeds are firmly held by the Chipping Sodbury Building Society and they'll probably make it a condition of the mortgage that you have house insurance. Your interest is in making sure that the value of the house stays higher than the mortgage. In the normal course of events that should not be too difficult, a coat of paint now and again and it'll be fine as long as nothing disastrous happens. Uh oh, but what if something does? Then you owe a lot of money on something that isn't worth very much. Even if you don't owe money on the house it is probably still your largest single asset and something you could ill afford to lose. |
Why do I need Public Liability Insurance?
It is impossible to eliminate all risks if you are running a business. However, the law states that if you cause damage to someone or their property then you will have to pay the claim amount which, in the worst case scenario, could run to many millions of pounds. By taking out Public Liability cover you are protecting your business against going bankrupt should the worst happen. The insurer will pay the claim and any legal fees. The knowledge that your business is protected will also give you the confidence to concentrate on the running of your business, rather than concerning yourself with “worst case scenarios”. |
