General liability insurance
$1,000,000
Automobile liability
$1,000,000
Worker’s comp and employer’s liability
$1,000,000
 
   (B)   While these minimum insurance amounts are required, each filming will be treated on a case by case basis. If the production company has “high hazard” events planned, then these amounts may be increased. Examples of high hazard events include, but are not limited to, using a vehicle to jump a railroad track, using a significant amount of explosives or pyrotechnics, or demolition of a building or vehicle. The Film Liaison will determine if insurance amounts need to be increased.
