Common questions about DJs

Answering the most frequently asked questions about DJs.

What if I can’t make a booked event?2026-08-17T23:41:35-04:00

Failure to appear is a contract dispute. E&O may respond; general liability will not.

Do I need music licensing coverage?2026-08-17T23:41:34-04:00

Media liability addresses unlicensed use and recording claims. Licensing itself is a compliance matter, not an insurance one.

Am I liable if someone trips on my cables?2026-08-17T23:41:33-04:00

Yes, that’s general liability. Cable runs and speaker stands are the most common source of DJ injury claims.

Why does every venue ask for a certificate?2026-08-17T23:41:32-04:00

They want protection for claims from your equipment or your event. Additional insured status is standard and easy to add.

Is my gear covered in transit?2026-08-17T23:41:32-04:00

Only with inland marine. Auto and general liability don’t cover equipment being hauled, which is when most losses happen.

    I have been using Semper insured Landland for some years now. Stu has been very helpful and responses fast to any questions you need answers too. Sara has contacted me when he was busy. He has gotten the best health insurance each year … More for my needs. It’s hard living on only my widows disability and he has helped get my health care insurance as my needs change and within my budget.

    We are so thrilled to be working with Adam. From the get-go, he took the time to understand our business's needs and worked closely (and tenaciously) to assemble an insurance package that met our unique needs. He's shown himself … More to be diligent, contentious, and a true advocate -- in many ways it feels like Adam's become an extension of my team. In the months we've been working together I've really come to trust Adam, and feel his partnership as an agent reflects a knowledge of our business and its mission and a genuine energy to strengthen and protect our operation.
