Does Your Production Need Increased Liability Insurance Coverage?

Entertainment or production firms are not immune from large lawsuits. Large claims involve; injury or deaths on sets, copyright issues, cancelled events, talent contracts, and more.

Umbrella Insurance provides extra protection or limits above the liability insurance you currently have. An Umbrella Insurance policy protects your production from losing the entirety of your resources and assets in the event of a large claim. Umbrella Insurance provides limits above your primary commercial insurance program.

Here is one example. While shooting an advertisement on a California highway an auto accident caused injury to two production members and a third party. The crew were covered under workers’ compensation but the by stander was not. The third party sued the production company for $2,500,000 in damages.
