E&O Insurance Bundled With General Liability & Equipment Insurance Now Approved for WEVA Members in Most States
December 12, 2011
Sarasota, FL - WEVA members who want to be sure their video/photo business is more fully-protected in today's business climate can now obtain Errors & Omissions (Professional Liability) insurance bundled with the other two key coverages of General Liability and Equipment insurance in a single, low-cost package underwritten by top-rated CNA, through Buell Insurance. The insurance bundle, available exclusively for WEVA members, has already completed the state approval process in all states except Washington, which is pending (CNA does not serve Alaska or Hawaii).
Prior to state approvals for the CNA bundle, Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance for wedding filmmakers and event video producers has been difficult to obtain and rarely available as an individual policy (not attached to a "master policy") that is bundled with the two other key coverages in one affordable package that covers both event video, and photo, business operations.
For 2012, most WEVA members will now be able to add E&O coverage to their general liability and equipment insurance, relates Brad Buell president of Buell Insurance, which has been serving WEVA members for over 15 years.
Why Event Video/Photo Professionals Need E&O Insurance
"Video professionals and digital imagers often ask, what is E&O insurance and why do I need it to protect my business if I already have general liability insurance? General liability covers injuries and accidents. E&O insurance is professional liability coverage, often known as 'peace of mind insurance' since it covers professional matters, not covered under general liability, including a missed event, contract disputes, lost or damaged footage/photos, client dispute over the final product, a lawsuit for negligence, equipment failure, and other professional liability matters," said Buell.
As Buell notes, since a separate E&O insurance policy can often cost video/photo professionals more than the cost of general liability and equipment insurance combined, the inclusion of E&O in one, lower-cost package bundled with both equipment and general liability insurance represents a huge benefit with significant savings for WEVA members.
