What a Musicians Insurance policy includes
Public Liability insurance for musicans
Public Liability insurance cover provides protection in case someone who works for your business injures or damages a member of the public or their property. If the third party then claims against your business and are awarded damages, your Public Liability insurance would cover the costs including legal fees that may occur in defending a claim. Public Liability Insurance is one of the most common insurance policy elements. Policy covers are available from £1m, £2m, £5m and can be higher upon request and subject to the insurer’s terms and conditions.
Employers Liability cover
Employers Liability insurance is a legal requirement if you employ anyone or pay additional band members on an ad-hoc basis that use your instrumental equipment. A standard Employers Liability insurance policy is £10m cover.
All Risk protection
All Risk protection covers your equipment. As a musician, this will cover your items such as instruments, amps, microphones and even your laptop (subject to terms and conditions and policy limits).
