The holiday season is a joyful time of year, but it can also be filled with unintended consequences.

Criminals tend to strike more often, preying on people who let down their guard — burglaries and thefts of opportunity rise. And, while people enjoy the spirit of the season, they forget to practice common-sense safety or take measures to keep themselves from becoming a victim. As a risk manager, protecting your clients is your priority. Now is the time to discuss their holiday plans and review their coverages to ensure that they’re protected if the worst-case scenario does happen.
