Don’t go broke this Christmas

accreditation
The festive season is all about having fun. Fun on the beach, fun with the family, fun at that Christmas Eve party that always get a little out of hand. Fun is good.

But fun is also dangerous. This is worst time of year for a number of accidents and these can come at a real cost. Not just the cost of a ruined Christmas and personal harm, but often a severe financial cost as well. This is only made worse by the depleted medical insurance that often rears its head at the end of the year. An ambulance trip alone can set you back R2 000

Here are the five most common festive accidents, and how you can avoid them.
