I just had an unfortunate experience with Aspen Insurance Agency, and in hindsight, it was due to oversight on my part.
I lost about 6 days of footage shot over three months on my laptop, and had no luck with recovery. Footage had long-since been formatted on my SSDs, so no luck with REDundead either. After filing a claim for negative loss, I receive a letter back stating:
"We are setting forth this denial because our investigation indicates that your lost video files do not fall under our coverage: loss of motion picture negatives or magnetic/video tape."
Does anyone have recommendations for a way around this? If not, how about insurance companies that provide digital loss?
I understand that people still shoot on film, but it's a bit frustrating to see that they claimed it as literal rather than extending the "negative loss" to digital.
