PARTIES THAT GO WITH A BANG -LITERALLY!

28/12/2005

•Survey results suggests that on average, 10 million Britons will see the New Year in by attending a party held at a friend or family member’s home


•One in four people have attended a New Year’s Eve party in someone’s home where something has been broken or badly damaged

•The average claim for a New Year’s Eve party disaster costs £750 - but they can cost a lot more!

Insurance company claim handlers are expecting their usual level of calls from policyholders reporting that their New Year’s Eve party celebrations didn’t go quite as smoothly as they had hoped according to leading insurer, Cornhill Direct

Accidents at New Year’s Eve parties are relatively common and Cornhill Direct suggests that hosts should move as many of their possessions out of harms way as they can. Cornhill Direct’s own claims files reveal that the most common accidents at parties are:

•Wine spills on carpets.

•Cigarette burns to soft furnishings.

•Broken ornaments.

•Scratches to wooden furniture.

More than one in three of the16-24 age group surveyed said they had been to a party ...cont/

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
  where something had been broken or damaged – the highest response rate across all the age ranges. Parties in the South West appear to be the “safest” while parties in Scotland appear to be the most likely to suffer an “incident”. Harry Rule, Claims Manager reports that parties hosted by younger people can result in significant claims. He said:

“We believe that the average New Year party claim costs around £750 but we have dealt with incidents at teenage parties that have cost much more.”

Some of the more memorable New Year party claims include:

•The Glasgow man who danced so vigorously that he lost his balance and fell through the patio doors of the host’s house causing £1,500 worth of damage. Fortunately he was not badly hurt.

•A Newcastle reveller who thought it would be a good idea to hang from the host’s ceiling light. The ceiling came down with him costing £800 to repair

•The Nottingham lady who put the heel of her stiletto shoe through the seat of a leather chair as she tried to retrieve a balloon from the ceiling

•In Bristol, a teenager’s party got so out of hand that the theft and malicious damage claim came to

•The London party goer who knocked the contents of a pint of lager down the back of a television. Cost £550

•The Brighton teenagers who decided to pull up the lounge carpet so that they could break dance on the hard wood floor beneath. The carpet ripped in the process and cost £2,000 to replace.

Harry Rule said:

“We would strongly recommend that you move as many of your possessions out of the way as possible. Anything can happen when New Year party fever takes hold.”
