Guard your electrical gadgets!
If you've recently bought a new portable electrical gadget, you might want to think about taking out a repair plan now while it's still new.
According to the Domestic & General claims department, one in three laptop claims and three quarters of all camera claims are caused by the item being dropped.* Many more accidents are caused by spillages and slippages – often involving children and animals.
Explanations from unlucky customers include:
“I carry my camera everywhere with me and had it in my back pocket. The screen broke when I sat on it.”
"My dog jumped up and knocked a glass of lemonade onto the laptop."
“My children bumped into me by the swimming pool and I fell in with the camera in my hand.”
When deciding whether to take out a plan on a brand-new gadget, it’s worth remembering that your standard manufacturer’s guarantee usually only covers breakdowns.
If you take out a plan on a new purchase with Domestic & General however, we’ll upgrade your guarantee to include accidental damage, plus give you up to four years additional peace of mind.
*Claims made between October 2007 and March 2008
