Why this class matters to Coterie

Motion Picture and Video Production ranks #95 on Coterie’s Top 100 classes list (December 2025), so this is a business type Coterie actively writes.

Typical risks

For video production companies, common claims include crew-related damage at client locations and bystander injuries on shoots. Clients visit, leases require proof of coverage, and advertising injury can arise from your marketing.

GL and BOP, explained

General liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury. Per-occurrence limits are $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M, with aggregates at twice that, and the policy includes medical payments and damage to rented premises.

A BOP covers computers, furniture and valuable papers, with business income and computer interruption built in. A business owner’s policy combines liability, property and business income in one policy.

Location shoots and equipment are reviewed. Laptop and equipment options are available on the BOP.
