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

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.

3 rules to reduce tyre risks in winter

When you think about car safety, what springs to mind? Seatbelts? Airbags? Maybe that clever lane-assist system that gently nudges you back when you wander.

But there’s something that rarely gets the spotlight, yet does all the heavy lifting: tyres. From an insurer’s perspective, tyres are a silent risk factor, especially if they’re worn beyond the legal limit. A vehicle with illegal, aged or poorly maintained tyres aren’t just less safe; they are more likely to be involved in an incident. And while we’ll always be there to support you, prevention beats payout every time.When you think about car safety, what springs to mind? Seatbelts? Airbags?
