What is Photography Insurance?
Photography business insurance helps protect your business from third-party liability claims such as bodily injury or property damage arising out of your business operations. It may help cover the potential medical or legal fees associated with these covered claims.
Keep in mind that a lawsuit could result in a detrimental financial loss and could negatively affect your bottom line—the downtime and financial strain just aren’t worth it. No matter how careful you are, the possibility of an accident happening is ever-present and you need the proper coverage in place to protect your livelihood.
If you’re interested in purchasing insurance, you can choose from our event or annual policies. With Full Frame, you get coverage online in minutes and receive downloadable proof of insurance instantly.
