As Nebraska prepares to celebrate the 250th Birthday of America, make sure you’re prepared to celebrate safely. While fireworks make a great display, they can cause great damage to surrounding areas if not properly fired.
It’s important to know what might and might not be covered when it comes to possible damages caused by fireworks. What might be covered when it comes to firework related incidents includes:
- Damage to your property from fireworks
- Injuries to others due to fireworks
- Damage to neighbor's and surrounding properties
With that, there is a lot that might not be covered in terms of firework incidents, such as:
- Injuries to yourself or those within your household
- Illegal fireworks
- Intentional damaging acts
To keep yourself, family and friends, and neighbors safe make sure you pay attention when using any fireworks and complete any and all safety procedures. Make sure to check your homeowners policy to see what is and what is not covered, as it will vary based on different policies.
Celebrating Independence Day with fireworks is a great way to end a fun day with family and friends, but make sure to celebrate safely by taking safety procedures seriously and knowing what is and isn’t covered in the event of firework related incidents.
