What’s the difference between production insurance and professional indemnity insurance?

They may look similar but they are actually quite different.

Professional indemnity insurance covers matters within your control such as claims of negligence by you, your employees or freelancers working for you.

For production companies, it also covers breach of intellectual property, copyright infringement, or breach of confidentiality.

Production insurance covers matters outside your control, such as a corrupted memory card or an equipment fault during a shoot.
