Publishers Liability Insurance


Publishers Liability Insurance at greatly discounted rates:

A significant member benefit now for over seven years is the PMA Publishers/Media Liability Insurance program, thoughtfully and professionally administered by Mike Mansel, CIC of Publiability. Com, division of Argo Insurance Group, the highlights of which are:

  1. Premiums starting as low as $2,500 for $1 million liability with $5,000 deductible.

  2. Limits from $500,000 to $10,000,000 with deductibles starting at $5,000.

  3. Our policy solves the problems associated with traditional media insurance policies by departing from the standard "named peril" concept to a comprehensive coverage for risks arising out of the core functions of "media organizations" gathering information and communicating that information to the public.
  4. Coverage automatically includes the customary publishers liability perils, errors and omissions or defective advice, and coverage for authors.

  5. Occurrence form, covering all media activities occurring during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is first made. Not the trap-filled, "claims-made' version offered by other providers of media liability.

  6. Broadest coverage form for "negligent publication" including "errors and omissions or defective advice" provided by one of this country's premiere national Best's rated A++15 insurance companies.

  7. Coverage is worldwide and includes protection for diversified media operations including but not limited to publishing, authoring, broadcast, cable, Internet and other forms of communication via the mediums of print, tape or CD-ROM.
