Accidents can happen while you perform your set. General liability insurance for DJ’s covers claims from third-party injuries, property damage, advertising injury, and more.

Or, during your set someone might come up to request a song and trip over your cords, resulting in an injury. Products completed operations aggregate, offered within our general liability policy, covers this instance.

Professional Liability

Available in our annual policy, professional liability (errors and omissions) protects you from negligence claims. Technology is amazing, but fickle. If your DJ equipment malfunctions, causing you to provide a subpar performance, you could face a lawsuit. Professional liability gives you certainty when the uncertain happens. 

Personal & Advertising Injury

Limit Per Policy: $1M

Not every event brings that house down, and that can be frustrating. If you get frustrated with an organization and slander their name, they may sue you for personal & advertising injuries. Our policy includes $1,000,000 in coverage for such an instance. 

Damage to Premises Rented to You

Limit Per Policy: $300,000
