I have used the Hartford in the past. I will look into Travelers.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

Hi Rich! Thank you for your reply. You confirmed the conclusion I had arrived at. An individual may be considered an independent contractor for tax purposes, but considered an employee for worker’s compensation, unemployment, wage and hour, or other purposes.
It seems that if anything were to go wrong on set and a person were hurt that the independent contractor will quickly be considered an employee. An employee that you have likely not dealt with from a legal stand point as an employee.
The bottom line if you want to cross you T’s and dot your i”s you should use a payroll service to cover yourself.
Rich, by any chance do you have any advice on what the best insurance a commercial and corporate video production company should purchase? And what a competitive rate would be?
I’m familiar with producing $750,000 30 second broadcast spots with 12 million dollar ad buys but as I stop working for agencies and start to operate my own company likely my budgets will start out at $15,000 to $30,000. I was thinking I need DICE and General Liability.
What are good rates, good vendors, and are there any other policies I should consider?
I shoot digital for web and broadcast distribution.I look forward to your reply.
Cheers,
Mike Kroesen

Thanks Chris,
I had not heard of using the anti-alias filter for this purpose before. I will give it a try.
