While other companies do offer general liability insurance, PPA's is unique in that it caters to the unique circumstances a photographer may encounter. PPA stresses the importance of liability insurance for photographers.

"General liability insurance is different than business or home owner's insurance," said Kristen Hartman, PPA director of member value and experience. Many photographers don't know this is coverage they need, but if something bad happens and the photographer is held responsible, it could be financially crippling."
