Photographers Professional Indemnity Insurance

How Does Professional Indemnity Insurance Protect Photographers?

If a client is unhappy with your work and decides to sue you, photographers’ professional indemnity insurance pays your defence costs and any compensation you’re liable for. Even if you’ve not actually done anything wrong.

For example, you’re covered if your clients don’t like the photographs you’ve taken, or if a technical problem with your equipment means you can’t do something you said you could. So, it could pay for reshooting wedding photos if the happy couple aren’t.

Professional indemnity for photographers also covers you for things like infringement of intellectual property. Useful in this information-is-everywhere age. 

Do Photographers Need Professional Indemnity Insurance If They’ve Already Got Public Liability Insurance?

The short answer is yes! While public liability insurance protects you against claims made by members of the public, only professional indemnity insurance protects you against claims relating to your professional conduct.

Many insurers offer professional indemnity alongside public liability (and employers liability cover if you need that too) on one policy. We have a range of Insurers that can offer an all-in-one package policy to keep things simple.

What Does Professional Indemnity Insurance Cover?

Professional indemnity insurance covers your legal costs in defending a claim, and any compensation or costs that may subsequently be awarded, following:

  • Professional negligence, such as giving incorrect instruction or poor advice to a client
  • Unintentional breach of confidentiality and/or copyright
  • Defamation and libel
  • Loss of documents or data
  • Loss of money or goods (for which you are responsible)

You are hired to photograph a corporate event. The photos are out of focus and you fail to capture specific items that your client requested. They hold you responsible for not performing your duties correctly and take legal action against you to recover their outlay.
