How insurance helped this filmmaker when client footage was lost
With Jack
If your equipment is damaged your contents insurance will kick into action
Natural wear and tear is not covered, so make sure you’re not relying on old equipment and have multiple back-ups
When the recovery wasn’t successful and client footage was lost, the client wanted compensation to protect their reputation and recoup the costs they’d lost
Your professional indemnity insurance could be triggered if a client seeks compensation from you
If the filmmaker didn't have insurance, he would have paid out just under £9000
