Pilots get to experience freedom unknown to most people. But this enjoyable activity also comes with dangers. Therefore, all pilots need liability coverage to protect them from a “sue-happy” society.

More Information About Pilot Liability Insurance

What Does Pilot Liability Insurance Cover?

Pilot insurance does not provide coverage for owners of aircraft. Instead, it offers tailored liability protection for those who fly other people’s planes for business or pleasure. These plans pay for damages or injuries sustained by third parties resulting from the pilot’s negligence up to the policy’s designated limits. The insurance will cover lawsuit judgments and claim settlements and pay for the insured’s legal defense.

Some examples of pilot insurance coverages include:

  • Flight instructor insurance: For pilots who instruct students, this insurance can cover liability exposure if the pupil causes injuries or property damage during a flying session.
  • Training: Private pilot liability insurance can protect students receiving flight instruction if they’re responsible for any damages or injuries during training.
  • Building hours: This coverage will provide essential liability protection for a commercial or private pilot attempting to increase flying time in a non-owned aircraft.

We Insure the Most Difficult Risks

Because of the inherent dangers in flying, finding pilot liability insurance in the standard market can be challenging. At Prime, we can often say yes when other providers say no. We specialize in insuring individuals and business owners who have been denied coverage or had their policies canceled or nonrenewed elsewhere. We can often cover those who have an extensive claims history that prevents them from getting essential insurance protection from other providers.
