Maya Maya Topic creator Posts: 3	How do I take out body insurance? I have recently taken up modelling, nothing major, just a few shoots for a catalogue. But after a recent shoot the scout suggested that I submit my portfolio for some more important casting (wish me luck). The problem is he also mentioned that perhaps I should consider taking out body insurance but I cant seem to find any information on it outside of the USA. Does anyone know any companies’ in the UK that offer such services? Also is it really worth me taking out seeing as I have only just started, I don’t want them to charge me a fortune when I wont even be earning that much.

For example I know there are some specialist insurers in London that deal with stars etc, but that to me sounds like money. Perhaps ask around when at your next photo shoot and see whether the others do and if so where and how much they pay.
