Autumn and winter are beautiful – colorful leaves, cozy evenings – but also dangerous when it comes to accidents in your own home. Many people only think about falls outdoors, but slippery hallways, wet entrances, or stairs can also lead to painful accidents.

🍂 Tips for more safety at home

1. Wear non-slip shoes.
   Especially on smooth tiles or wet entrances, non-slip soles prevent nasty slips.

2. Keep walkways clear.
   Carpets, cables, or boxes in hallways and on stairs increase the risk of falls. Eliminate tripping hazards consistently.

3. Well-lit stairs.
   Especially during the darker months, light helps to spot tripping hazards. Nightlights or motion detectors significantly increase safety.

4. Take care at wet entrances:
   Leaves, rain, or snow on doormats or tiles can quickly become slippery. Regular wiping and drying minimizes the risk.

🚨 Accident insurance – why it's also important at home

Even with the greatest care, an accident can happen. Accident insurance covers the financial consequences – from medical expenses and rehabilitation to lost wages. This protects you if something unexpected occurs.

🧭 Behavior in case of damage

1. Stay calm and call for medical help if necessary.

2. Document the accident , e.g. photos, location and time.

3. Risk-BOT will inform you – we will review your claims and ensure a fast, uncomplicated processing.

🔑 Conclusion

Autumn and winter bring risks – both indoors and outdoors. With simple measures, proactive behavior, and the right insurance, you can avoid accidents or at least minimize their consequences. This leaves you time to enjoy the season in a relaxed and safe manner.
