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

  • Motorsport – including personal accident for competition and practice

  • Travel – including medical expenses and cancellation

  • Contingency – including event cancellation and prize indemnity

  • Kidnap and ransom – including kidnap and extortion

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.
