Why do Videographer’s need public liability insurance?
As a videographer, you’re often capturing high-pressure, one-time moments, from live events and weddings to promotional shoots and corporate campaigns. With tight timelines, multiple stakeholders, and technical gear in play, even the most organised professionals can face unexpected setbacks. That’s where specialist liability insurance for videographers becomes crucial.
The right insurance gives you confidence, knowing that if something goes wrong, you’re covered. No matter how skilled or experienced you are, accidents happen—and when they do, insurance protects your reputation, your equipment, and your income.
UK videographer insurance can protect you from a range of real-world scenarios:
Public liability cover
While filming at a clients’ office, you accidentally knock over a light stand, which damages an expensive piece of the client’s AV equipment. In this situation, the client may seek compensation for the cost of repairs or replacement.
Public liability insurance protects you from the legal and financial consequences of these types of claims, so you’re not left to cover the costs on your own.
Professional indemnity insurance
A wedding videographer films the entire day but later discovers the ceremony footage was lost due to a technical error. The couple is upset that a key moment is missing and could submit a claim for the loss of irraplacable footage.
In this case, professional indemnity insurance could cover the legal costs and any compensation awarded, helping to protect the videographer’s business from the financial impact of a genuine mistake.
Equipment cover
Your cameras, stabilisers, lighting, and audio gear are central to your business. A loss or breakdown can bring production to a halt and cost you valuable time and money.
Equipment insurance ensures your tools are replaced quickly, so you can stay on schedule and keep your clients satisfied.
Personal accident cover
Videography is physically demanding—carrying heavy kit, long hours on set, and frequent travel can take a toll. If you suffer a work-related injury that leaves you unable to take on projects, your income could take a hit.
Personal accident cover gives you financial support while you recover, helping protect your livelihood during time off.
Proof of liability cover
Many venues, event organisers, or corporate clients require proof of liability cover before allowing you to film on-site.
This ensures that if something goes wrong—like accidental damage or injury—you’re covered, reducing the risk for everyone involved. Having the right insurance in place also positions you as a professional, helping you win more business with confidence.
Our experts explain why...
“Working as a videographer is about more than just creating stunning visuals—it’s about managing complex shoots, handling high-value equipment, and working with clients in a range of unpredictable environments. From live events to fast-turnaround commercial projects, videographers deal with a unique set of challenges on every job.
That’s why our videographer public liability insurance has been carefully developed to offer real-world protection and flexibility. Whether you’re a solo content creator or managing a small production business, our cover is built to handle everything from gear damage to injury claims. And with add-ons like professional indemnity, equipment and accident cover, you can adapt your policy to suit the way you work.
Ultimately, we want videographers to feel secure and supported—so they can focus on storytelling, not the risks behind the scenes.”
Chris Trotman, Protectivity Underwriting Manager
