A message from the freelancers union
Dear Peter,
At the Freelancers Union, we get a lot of questions about how to start and maintain a freelance career.
Questions like, “Am I ready for this?” and “How do I measure success?” and “How can I protect myself if something goes wrong? What happens if I get sued?”
Some questions are easier to answer than others. And when it comes to shouldering potential risks without the safety net of a traditional employer, the best way you can protect yourself is with liability insurance.
If someone is injured in your studio, tries to sue you for something you wrote, or finds fault in consulting advice you provided — liability insurance has your back. Liability insurance safeguards your assets, so that if something does go wrong, you’re not held responsible for hospital bills, administrative fees, legal defense costs, and more.
