Why do graphic designers and commercial artists need insurance?

Your graphic design business could face devastating legal costs if you're accused of copyright infringement or plagiarism. Business insurance provides financial protection from lawsuits, theft, injuries, and accidents. Some policies may be required by state law, clients, or a lease agreement.
