About Media Perils Liability Insurance

Media perils or publisher's liability insurance provides protection for traditional claims. These include copyright or trademark infringement, libel, plagiarism, and defamation. Furthermore, it also covers invasion of privacy or publicity, outrage, misappropriation of property rights, personal injury, and errors or omissions.

 

Coverage can be extended to provide claims. These claims seek to impose liability on the author or publisher for physical injuries or economic loss. This loss is allegedly caused by some flaw or negligent publication in the ideas or expressions contained in published material.

Reasons why Media Perils Liability Insurance is needed

Anyone who collects and shares information is "publishing." This can lead to claims and expensive legal costs. These costs are a result of gathering and communicating the information.

 

The number and variety of claims against media organizations are constantly increasing, especially due to on-line publishing. Settlements and verdicts are also becoming larger. 

 

First Amendment rights provide some protection, but the cost of lawyers, time, effort, and a potential settlement can be significant. It is therefore worthwhile to transfer this risk to an insurance company. Media perils liability insurance provides insurance protection for negligent publishing or authoring.
