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.

Accountants: cybersecurity essentials to protect your practice

Once considered an optional extra, cyber security is now a non-negotiable for accountancy practices. The sector has emerged as a prime target for modern-day cyber criminals, thanks in part to a large volume of held personal and financial data. But cyber-readiness continues to lag, with few practices prepared for the worst. When it comes to insurance, the cyber landscape is shifting. It is becoming increasingly difficult for practices to obtain cyber insurance unless they can meet certain criteria, such as multi-factor authentication. At the same time, anecdotal evidence suggests that cyber insurance is being bundled into PII insurance or otherwise offered without question. But the reality is that your security measures must be clearly defined and implemented upfront – or the likelihood of a successful claim is slim. In short, robust cyber prevention is the only viable option to minimise the impact of an attack. That’s why we’ve put together the below cyber security checklist, along with some practical cybersecurity measures for accountancy practices to follow.
