This is also very important! If a camera falls on someone's head, you do not want to be responsible — and neither does your venue. Avoid the lawsuit by ensuring the video team has their own insurance.
Thompson explained this: "Before you move forward with booking, make sure the person or studio you are working with is covered by insurance, and it's very likely that your venue will not let uninsured vendors work at their establishment without it. [Editor's note: mine won't!]"
Moreover, there could be other problems down the line. "If they are not covered and can't provide proof this could be a red flag in terms of professionalism and reliability," she noted. "Companies that don't have the minimal required insurance probably have not been in the business long enough, putting into question their experience."
