The 4th Of July Claims Underwriters Fear Most

From fireworks to boating accidents, July 4th brings out some hefty summertime claims.

Every year we gather ’round for fireworks and fun, but did you know the 4th of July is considered one of the most dangerous holidays in the United States?

“What we don’t always realize is that the 4th of July has people gathering together for good times and drinking. It’s summertime and they want to be on the water, which gets us into boating accidents,” said Coleman Brown, vice president, loss control, CBIZ Insurance Services.

“Now combine that with fireworks [and their risks]. Plus there is eating, and food safety becomes a big part."
