Why Do I Need Event Videography Insurance?

Regardless of who you’re working for or the nature of the event you’re shooting, you are exposed to ever-present risks.

Let’s say a friend asks you to shoot a video of their wedding. You’ve known each other for a while, and you know many of the guests who will be attending. While you’re at the wedding, however, one of the guests trips over a piece of your equipment and breaks their wrist upon falling. Even if your equipment was where it was supposed to be, you could still be held liable.

This means that you could be on the hook for hospital bills and even wind up on the receiving end of a lawsuit. The costs here could quickly add up to tens, or even hundreds, of thousands of dollars.

Event videography insurance helps protect you from this. It keeps you protected in case something goes wrong, which could save you from a mountain of debt.

Remember, there are risks you inherit every time you shoot and you can’t always be 100% in control of every situation.

What Is Wedding Photography Insurance?

Your event videography insurance plan provides the following:

  • 1-3 days of coverage
  • General liability insurance
  • Note that this does not include product liability or equipment insurance. These are all available, however, in an annual plan
  • Personal and advertising injury

Basically, the event videography policy provides you with the essentials you need to protect yourself from liability risks for a single event. If you’re only shooting at a few events each year, this is likely your best option.

A written contract, such as a venue, studio rental, or employment contract is required to add another party as additional insured.
