Every professional sportsperson hopes to have a long and fulfilling career; maximising the enjoyment, achievements and rewards of all the hard work and sacrifice put in throughout those early, years. But what if the dream turns into a nightmare and is cut short by a career-ending injury, accident, illness or even death?
Dealing with the physical and emotional fallout would be traumatic enough. But what about the financial consequences? The sudden loss of income and the opportunity to replace it elsewhere would be devastating for the sportsperson and their family.
At C&C, our Sports Insurance Division has access to exclusive career-ending injury insurance cover, tailored to the specific needs of professional sportspeople, giving them the confidence of financial security, should their career come to an abrupt end through injury.
Career-ending injuries, accidents, and illness can happen anywhere at any time, so the sports and career ending injury insurance cover we can offer will help protect professional sportspeople, regardless of where their injury occurs – whether in a sporting environment or not.
Exclusive Career Ending Injury Insurance
This market-leading cover also includes insurance for illnesses such as unknown cardiac issues and MND, as well as death by natural causes, such as a heart attack, cardiac arrest or stroke. Risks such as these are often not included when considering more general insurance protection for professional sportspeople.
Some of the features included within the exclusive sports injury and career ending injury insurance we have access to are:
Professional sportspeople, regardless of their discipline, should be alert to the relentless and ever-increasing demands on their bodies and minds. The physicality, pace, and frequency of engagement in every sport are increasing. This can lead to shorter down-periods between performances and even more travelling. All of which impacts muscle and joint recovery, as well as mental judgement. As a result, sportspeople may find themselves enjoying less sleep, taking more risks in training and matches, and inadvertently exposing themselves to a greater risk of injury.
One-Stop-Shop Insurance Solutions Tailored To Sport Professionals
In addition to career ending injury insurance, we can also provide a one-stop-shop service and arrange cover for house and contents, specific valuables (such as watches and jewellery), and cars (individual or whole family or fleet). Better still, all three policies can be managed by one point of contact. And should a policy ever be called upon; our claims specialists are on hand to manage the process on your behalf.
We understand how much our clients value their privacy and the importance of discretion. Clients from a whole range of sporting disciplines, based all over the UK trust us to manage their career-ending injury insurance, as well as their property, contents and vehicle cover. And whilst many are household names, you’ll never hear us referring to them.
