Importance of Pool Safety

If you are from the Eastern MA area, you probably heard about the tragic incident that occurred last weekend. On Saturday morning, twin sisters Veronica and Angelina Andreottola of Lynnfield tragically drowned in their family’s pool. It is suspected that the toddlers somehow opened the electronic pool cover but the details are not yet clear. To read more, click here.

It’s terrible that we need a reminder like this to bring our attention to pool safety and not just on having fun in the sun. Whether you own a pool or not, it is important to be aware of the risks that come with swimming pools and the ways that you can keep your family and friends safe this summer. Click here to read about some critical pool safety tips that are not to be overlooked.

Accidents do happen and it’s important to prevent them to the best of your ability. While you are looking for the best ways to protect the people you care about, it is also a good idea to make sure that you have the proper liability limits in place; especially if you have a pool on your property. It is a good idea to talk to your Encharter Insurance agent about considering the addition of a MA Personal Umbrella policy to your MA Homeowner’s Insurance policy.

Summer Fun in the Pool? Is Your Insurance Policy Enough?

Summer is quickly approaching and sometimes the only thing to break the hot and humid days is a nice swim in your pool. Some people are spicing things up a bit with new landscaping ideas around their pools such as those shown on the Pacific Pool website. These are beautiful additions to any yard, but be sure to check with your Encharter Insurance agent before you decide to make any changes. One thing to always keep in mind is that, as fun as pools can be, they are also liability risks. If you have neighbors over at your pool (invited or uninvited) and they get injured, you’re liable. And any aesthetically-pleasing changes may become an even bigger risk. So, before you open up your pool for the summer, be sure to have an Encharter Insurance agent review your Homeowner’s Insurance policy for its liability limits. You want to be sure that you’re adequately protected from the losses of a potential lawsuit. It might even be a good idea to look into purchasing a Personal Umbrella Policy for additional coverage and security. Our agents are more than willing to help you sort through all of this and give you the best possible solution. We want to provide you with the best possible coverage for the best possible price, and with our agents’ expertise, we can!
