Accidents at home? Do you have good insurance?

Accidents at home? Do you have good insurance? A Cuban friend of my father’s arrived in the US dreaming of eating a steak “like in the movies”. A big one, “that he could bite into, fill his mouth, and for the first time, feel his teeth doing the activity they were created for, “chewing meat”.

Well, after the welcome greetings, my father put a huge, juicy sirloin steak and a bottle of wine on the table. The man sat down, happy, cut a good piece of meat, while smiling and brought it to his mouth. He chewed quickly and swallowed. Well, at least he tried. Suddenly, he felt the meat wasn’t going down his throat. And he started gesturing for help. His friends laughed, thinking he was joking because of how long he had gone without eating meat. Until the man collapsed and died of asphyxiation, a victim of the meat he so desired.

Well, more than 5,000 Americans die in their homes due to food-induced asphyxia. Small children, in addition to choking on food, often swallow small objects such as buttons or parts of their toys.

We have the impression that our home is the safest place on earth. However, statistics show that over 30,000 Americans die as a result of the 20 million falls that occur inside homes.

We must make our home a safe environment. To do this, it is essential to eliminate all objects that can cause injury, such as cables, carpets, remove toys from stairs, pick up garden hoses, put a fence around pools, and keep medications out of reach of children.

Keep in mind that if someone has an accident inside your home and you lack insurance, this incident could cost you a fortune in medical bills, even in lawsuits.

Regardless of the measures you take to prevent accidents, remember that accidents can always happen. What will never fail you is having a good insurance policy from Univista Insurance.
