Below is a summary of the types of cover available. Please contact the team here at TBI Insurance if you have any questions or to enquire about your options.
Film Producers Indemnity
Provides a cover for the additional costs incurred due to death, disability, accident or illness of nominated personnel who are imperative to the continuation of the Production e.g. Director, Lead Cast, Director of Photography, etc. Cover indemnifies the production company. Nominated personnel are required to complete a satisfactory medical declaration form.
Content Media Risk
Covers additional costs incurred due to loss or damage to the negative/tape/media of the production. Also provides cover for the risks of faulty stock, camera and processing (where most claims occur) and damage or loss whilst in transit.
Public Liability
Protection is provided to the Insured for claims made against them for death, bodily injury and/or property damage to third parties as a result of the insured’s acts of negligence. Please note that subcontractors (freelancers, independent contractors, etc) are not automatically covered. Prior arrangements must be made with underwriters to cover the liability of sub-contractors.
Multi Risks
This section of the policy provides cover for accidental loss or damage to cameras, lighting and electrical equipment, props, sets and wardrobe. This Section can be extended to include office contents whilst being used on the production.
Extra Expense
Protects the production company for increased costs by reason of an interruption to Principal Photography caused by damage to property owned by the insured or for which the insured is legally liable. In other words, provides protection to cover the costs of delays caused by material damage to property.
