According to a report by www.merkur.de,

An article was published on October 30, 2023 that deals with the insurance aspects of property damage on Halloween. It should be noted that if property damage occurs as a result of Halloween pranks, insurance can step in to cover the costs incurred. This applies to both residential building insurance in the case of damaged walls and fully comprehensive and partially comprehensive insurance in the case of damaged vehicles.

As an economic expert, it is important to analyze the impact of such property damage on the insurance market. Halloween pranks that result in property damage can lead to increased demand for insurance coverage. This could result in insurance companies adjusting their rates to compensate for the rising costs of covering property damage. Consumers could face higher insurance premiums, especially if property damage on Halloween proves to be a common occurrence.

In addition, such incidents could also have an impact on insurance policies, particularly with regard to coverage for vandalism and property damage. Insurance companies could revise their policies to tighten the conditions for coverage of such incidents.

Overall, it is important for consumers to be aware of the insurance aspects and to take appropriate measures to be adequately covered in the event of property damage. This could also include reporting any damage to the insurance company immediately and filing a report with the police, as recommended by the NRW consumer advice center.
