Creativity is subjective, leaving you open to risk.
Creativity underscores everything for media and web designers. You use your imagination and design skills to produce beautiful and effective logos, websites, graphics, and more to get your clients’ vision across. However, creativity is by default a subjective business. This means you and your client might not see eye to eye on your work. For this reason, including errors and omissions liability insurance (E&O) in your media and web design insurance coverage. It helps to protect your business in the event a client sues you because they feel the final product you presented isn’t up to their expectations. Also, it offers coverage for suits related to your own negligence, like missed production deadlines, broken links, and much more.
Content rules the internet.
Media and web designers produce content. You create graphics, logos, images, and even websites themselves, consistently producing and using content. Sometimes, especially when it comes to images, ownership can be hard to track down and you may end up using something that is already copyrighted. Or, the content you produce could result in a slander or libel suit against you.

Also, general liability insurance helps cover a range of other potential risks like damage to clients’ property and injuries to visitors of your business.
