Insurance companies are borderline better than the mafia but not always.
Several years ago we had a project to fly over an island in the Houston shipping channel. It was covered in trees, and has no structures visible, so just an old island in the harbor. Some company called and wants aerial photos, BUT they insist all contractors for them have 10 million in liability insurance. To fly over an island covered in trees. So we called our carrier and they had cold sweats but set it up.
They wanted the pilot to call them just before he took off to go fly to the island, and go land and call them and say it is done. The coverage was in effect for 30 minutes at most while our pilot was on that project. It still cost a lot for the insurance but we just tacked on the invoice.
Evidently after we flew it, they but several bulldozers on the island, and removed the trees to build something. We never found out what since that was not our project.
