Common questions about Drone Photographers

Answering the most frequently asked questions about Drone Photographers.

Am I exposed to privacy claims?2026-08-17T23:41:40-04:00

Yes, and more than ground-based photographers. Media liability covers invasion of privacy and trespass allegations from aerial work.

Does Part 107 certification affect my coverage?2026-08-17T23:41:40-04:00

It affects both eligibility and price. Uncertified commercial operation can void coverage entirely.

Is the drone itself covered if it crashes?2026-08-17T23:41:39-04:00

Only with hull coverage on an inland marine or aviation form. Loss in flight is often excluded by default.

Does general liability cover my drone?2026-08-17T23:41:38-04:00

Usually not. Most GL forms exclude aircraft, and drones fall inside that exclusion. The aircraft must be scheduled specifically.

What happens if my drone hits someone or something?2026-08-17T23:41:38-04:00

That needs drone-specific liability. Confirm it’s endorsed rather than assuming your general liability responds.

    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.
