Excluded on the same endorsement as stunts, and scheduled the same way.
Animal death, illness and injury cover, with extra expense for shooting around an animal that cannot perform — declared in advance because the base production form excludes animal exposure by name.
Tell us the situation.
A licensed human replies the same business day — not an auto-responder, and not five producers calling at once. We shop it across our carriers and tell you if the policy you already have is the right one.
We use this to quote and service your insurance, and we do not sell it or pass it to lead networks. Privacy policy.
What animal mortality businesses actually need.
Death, illness or injury
The value of an animal working on the production.
Without it — A trained working animal is a substantial uninsured asset.
Animal extra expense
The cost of delays and reshoots caused by an animal that cannot perform.
Without it — The day is lost and the crew is paid regardless.
Where animal mortality shows up.
- Film & Entertainment
Animals are excluded on the same endorsement as stunts, and a horse that cannot work costs you the day as well as the animal.
What animal mortality operators ask us.
Does it cover a wrangler’s animals or ours?
Either, depending on how it is scheduled — but it has to be scheduled. If you are hiring animals through a supplier, check what their own cover does and does not include, because their policy protects their interest and the production’s extra expense is a separate loss that their policy has no reason to pay.
