Churchill Insurance warns of firework 'peril'

Bonfire night is proving to be a very costly time for insurers as over a million homes in the UK are damaged by fireworks says Churchill Insurance.

Allied to this, almost a million people have caused damage to a neighbour's property due to fireworks going astray and 1.77 million homeowners have suffered an injury or a loved one has suffered an injury at the hands of a firework, on or around November 5th.

Churchill Insurance found that people are most afraid of individuals misusing fireworks in the street, with 60 per cent citing this as their biggest fear. Three quarters of those surveyed expressed the opinion that fireworks should only be handled by people with a licence to do so.

Martin Scott, head of home insurance at Churchill, stated: "Personal safety and the potential for damage to property are clearly major issues for homeowners hosting parties on Bonfire Night. By observing a few safety precautions, the risk of accidents can be significantly reduced."

Churchill Insurance is currently running an offer on home insurance that applies to those with no claims in the last three years. The insurer promises to beat the renewal quote for people meeting this and underwriting criteria.
