Organizing your sale around a few common-sense principles will reduce the likelihood that someone accidently gets hurt. For example, you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>place sharp objects out of the reach of small children<\/li>\n<li>keep small items on tables so people don&rsquo;t trip over them<\/li>\n<li>make sure there&rsquo;s a clear pathway through your wares<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are all simple steps but will help keep your sale safe for everyone who comes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Liability Coverage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No matter how much attention you give to safety, you can&rsquo;t eliminate all accidents. To protect yourself if there is an accident on your property, you should have liability coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Most homeowners insurance policies include personal liability coverage, although policies&rsquo; terms and conditions that govern the coverage vary widely. If someone is injured in an incident that&rsquo;s covered by your liability coverage, your insurance policy may protect you.<\/p>\n<p>If you only have limited liability coverage through your current homeowners policy, consider increasing your protection before you have a garage sale. At The Insurance Shop USA, we can help you find a new homeowners policy if you live in Sandypoint, ID. In just a few moments, our agents can find you a policy with the liability coverage you want.
