I am putting this here because there are a lot of "beginners" accepting payment, even small payments, for their services.
I just want to ask if any of you have insurance protection, even if you are not claiming to be a business. For instance, you have 12 year old Jane sitting in a tree for her portrait, she falls out and breaks her arm. Who is responsible? Could you be sued?
What if you are doing the stereotypical family shoot at the train tracks, and little Johnny, trips and bangs his head on the track? Could you be sued?
If you are providing a service, in exchange for money, yes, you could.
Do you have a way to protect yourself? Umbrella policy?
