Planning some fun at home this summer? Make sure your backyard is safe for all your favorite activities by using this summer safety checklist.

Pool safety
• Never leave children unattended
• Kids should never be alone in or near a pool (even if they know how to swim)
• Sign your kids up for swimming lessons

Learn emergency skills
• Young children should learn when to get help. Older children and adults should learn CPR and first aid
• Keep a first-aid kit, ring buoys and reaching poles nearby. Easy access to these items could be lifesaving

Install a safety fence
• Make sure your pool safety fence covers all pool sides and has self-closing gates. Also, install locks and alarms on doors with pool access.
• Create and post safety rules and enforce them.

Trampoline safety
• Add safety features
• Make sure your trampoline has padding and netting. An enclosed trampoline can help prevent falls
• Maintain your trampoline
• Inspect your trampoline regularly for missing pads, tears, exposed springs and other issues that could cause injury
• Enforce safety rules: Only one jumper at a time to reduce risk of injury

Playground safety
• Inspect your playground equipment regularly
• Create a safe landing
• Teach playground rules
• Supervise young children at play

Review your home liability insurance limits

Even if you follow all these tips, accidents happen. Keep your liability insurance coverage updated (and consider adding an umbrella liability policy). If you add a pool, trampoline or playground to your yard, meet with your insurance agent to see if you need to increase your home liability coverage. Stay safe and have fun this summer!

Summer riding season is upon us, and whether you’re thinking about hitting the open road on a new muscle bike or a moped, you’re going to need to protect that new ride with the right insurance. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect when getting your new ride insured with us:

• Motorcycle insurance also covers scooters and motorized bicycles. And it covers a lot of the same things car insurance does.

• What does it cover? Just like car insurance, we provide coverage for accidents (collision) and protection against theft, vandalism, hail and falling objects (comprehensive).

• Coverage can also include liability and medical if you’re at-fault in an accident and responsible for injuries to others.

• There’s no set price for motorcycle insurance, but your driving and claims history, your deductible and the amount of liability/medical coverage you want all factor into the final price. You choose what coverage is right for you.
