Public Liability & Professional Indemnity

Negligence based insurance policies can form an important part of your insurance needs.

They are designed to cover not only the claims costs but the subsequent legal fees involved in either defending or negotiating these matters, which are often lengthy and expensive.

Public Liability

A public liability policy provides cover for:

Injury caused by you or your employees to other people for which you are deemed negligent. This could be a simple accident such as someone falling over a tripod to a more serious injury caused to a child during a shoot.

Damage to other people’s property for which you are deemed negligent. This may be damage caused to a home you are shooting for a real estate sale, to damage caused to a commercial building.

Damage caused by you to Goods in your Care, Custody or Control for which you are deemed negligent. This could be damage to expensive glassware, clothing or other goods damaged whilst in your care, custody or control.

Products Liability. This part of the policy protects against claims of personal injury or property damage caused due to your negligence by products produced by your business

Professional Indemnity Insurance

This type of policy protects the professional photographer for loss arising out of a Breach of Professional Duty. There are a number of scenarios that could result in a professional liability claim being made against a photographer. A few of these situations could include:

Losing or damaging memory cards or film after completing a job resulting in a financial loss to the third party.

A scheduling error resulting in the shoot not taking place which then causes reshooting expenses.

*All applications subject to acceptance by the Underwriter. Terms, exclusions and conditions may apply.

What Our Clients Say

bambi
Bambi Gosbell

I've had my insurance with PPIB since November 2011 and in that time I've never had a drama. They are specific to my individual business needs and I am covered for things I never even thought of eg. Finished and unfinished client work at the studio.

I don't have to research the best deals, every year they find the best coverage and all I have to do is sign my renewal. I saved $500+ a year just by moving over to PPIB from my original insurer. And the best thing is, I am paying less and getting more coverage.

I wouldn't trust anyone else to insure my equipment. I have a top of the range Phase One camera. Not long long after getting it, I dropped it whilst out on a shoot. I was covered and the team at PPIB made it so easy to lodge a claim. What could have been a very costly mistake turned out to be a minor hiccup. I was back shooting again with the confidence that if anything else was to happen I had the best insurance company behind me. If you are a professional or a keen enthusiast photographer, you won't find better.

We have been covered by PPIB since 2010 and couldn't recommend them highly enough. Over the course of the last few years I have had my fair share of misadventures - in the west coast of NZ, the depths of the Kimberley and at home in Tasmania. On each occasion PPIB as done all that's necessary to ensure that I kept shooting with minimum interruption. When I slipped into a thermal pool in the Kimberleys completely drowning my Nikon, PPIB organised a replacement to be waiting for me in Broome. That kind of service and support is exactly what we need when out shooting.
