What our coverage includes

Accident and injury – including:

  • Personal accident, accidental death and death by natural causes

  • Permanent total disablement (also known as career-ending insurance)

  • Temporary total disablement (also known as wage protection)

  • Liability – including public and employers’ liability

  • Property – including material damage and contents cover

I had a career-ending insurance policy provided by Lockton to protect my future earnings from the game. Thankfully this proved to be essential following my enforced retirement from professional football as a consequence of injury.

However, stakeholders within the entertainment industry must also recognize the threat of political violence to live productions – particularly as the methods of threat actors evolve. 

Robust risk mitigation of violence at live events requires a holistic approach from all parties. Close collaboration and understanding of all contingencies and protections is critical to ensuring the safety of performers and spectators, alike.

Driver in Control: staying composed behind the wheel

Insurance is largely based on statistics – and motor insurance is no exception. 
Premiums are calculated from tracking claims and identifying common traits from collision incidents, such as the frequency of certain vehicles involved and how those incidents occurred.
Within the performance vehicle sector, claims arising from loss of control give insurers the greatest cause for concern. It is, therefore, crucial drivers remain composed behind the wheel and in control of their vehicle at all times. Insurance is largely based on statistics – and motor insurance is no exception.
