Essential Protection for Your Business

General Liability Insurance for Photographers

As a photographer, your job often takes you to various locations—whether it’s a wedding venue, corporate event, or an outdoor shoot. While your focus is on capturing stunning images, accidents can happen, and those accidents can lead to costly legal claims. That’s why having General Liability Insurance is crucial for any photography business.

At Package Choice, we understand the unique risks photographers face. Our General Liability Insurance is designed to protect you from financial losses due to third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury arising from your business operations.

What is General Liability Insurance?

General Liability Insurance provides broad protection for your photography business, covering claims that arise from accidents, injuries, or damages that occur during your shoots or while you’re working with clients. This type of insurance can cover legal fees, medical expenses, and settlement costs if you’re held liable.

Common scenarios where General Liability Insurance applies:

  • Bodily Injury: A guest at a wedding trips over your lighting equipment and sustains an injury.
  • Property Damage: You accidentally damage a client’s property while setting up a photoshoot.
  • Personal Injury: A client claims that you’ve used their likeness inappropriately for advertising, resulting in a lawsuit.

Why Photographers Need General Liability Insurance

As a professional photographer, you’re responsible not only for the quality of your work but also for the safety of those around you. Whether you’re working at a venue, studio, or a client’s property, unexpected incidents can occur. General Liability Insurance ensures that your business is protected from the financial consequences of such events.

Here are a few reasons why General Liability Insurance is essential for photographers:

  • Venue Requirements: Many venues require photographers to provide proof of General Liability Insurance before they can work on-site. With Package Choice, you can quickly obtain Certificates of Insurance to meet venue requirements.
  • Client Contracts: Some clients may ask for proof of insurance to ensure that you’re covered for potential liabilities. Having this coverage gives your clients peace of mind and can help you secure more contracts.
  • Accidents Happen: Even the most careful photographers face risks, such as someone tripping over equipment or damage to a location where you’re shooting. Without insurance, these incidents could result in costly legal claims and settlements.

What Does General Liability Insurance Cover?

Package Choice offers robust General Liability Insurance that includes protection for:

  • Bodily Injury: Covers medical expenses and legal fees if someone is injured during your shoot.
  • Property Damage: Pays for repairs or replacements if you accidentally damage someone else’s property.
  • Personal and Advertising Injury: Protects against claims related to defamation, slander, or the inappropriate use of someone’s likeness in advertising materials.
  • Products and Completed Operations: Coverage extends to liability claims that arise after your project has been delivered, such as an injury caused by a photo display.
