No Deductible
The AFM Musicians' Liability Insurance Plan does not require a deductible. All claims will be defended on a first-dollar basis - you won't have to pay a cent! Compare this Plan with similar coverage! Many insurance companies offer large deductibles to keep costs down, however, the Musicians' Liability Insurance Plan is already economical - even without a deductible option. Quality, economical insurance, made available to you through AFM group buying power.
Priced for You
Since no two AFM members are alike, the Insurance Administrator has designed this Plan so that each applicant will receive a quotation unique to their situation. Costs vary by state of residence and annual gross receipts.
