Taking out photography insurance with Tradesman Saver gives you access to five separate policies in one automatic cover package, including legal expenses and financial loss. Photographers public liability insurance is potentially the most crucial of them, offering you financial cover in the event that you or your equipment causes harm or damage to a third party, or third party property.

Our range of optional covers can be added to your primary policy, giving you a tailor-made plan to suit your needs. Employer’s liability insurance, for example, is legally required for all businesses who employ or hire in other staff.

It Shouldn’t Happen To A Photographer
Here are some examples of claims:
Injured Guest
You’re taking photos at a wedding and have your tripod out to take a bridal group shot. You place it to one side after you’re done, to take photos free-hand, but unfortunately one of the guests trips over your tripod, sustaining an injury. They sue you for compensation. Fortunately, your public liability insurance can really help here – it will cover the costs of the compensation and legal costs for you, so you don’t get left out of pocket.
Stolen Camera
You’re hired to be the photographer at an event. You nip to the toilet and leave your camera in your equipment bag, but when you return, you find your camera is missing. Your tools & equipment insurance is your saving grace in this situation – your insurer will pay out the cost of replacing your equipment, so your business doesn’t have to suffer because someone else has sticky fingers. Make sure you add on cover for tools & equipment during the quote process to benefit from this optional cover.
