There’s something truly magical about flying a drone. It changes your view of the world, literally and figuratively. When you’re up in the air, you see things from a different perspective. You can appreciate the beauty of your surroundings in a way that’s simply not possible from the ground. And when you’re flying a drone, you’re also in control. You’re the one who decides where to go and what to film. It’s an exhilarating feeling…
As the popularity of drones continues to grow, so does the need for drone insurance. While most drone pilots operate their vehicles safely and responsibly, accidents can and do happen. That’s why civil liability insurance is critical for anyone who owns or operates a drone. In the event of an accident, this type of insurance can help to cover the costs of damage to property or injury to people.
In Portugal, civil liability insurance is even mandatory for all drone operators. By protecting yourself with insurance, you can help to ensure that you are financially prepared in the event of an accident.
