High-limit Disability Insurance
for Professional Athletes
Underwritten by Lloyd's of London

Common Uses

Some of the sports the Lloyd's Disability Insurance cover are

• Football • Baseball • Basketball • Hockey • Golf • Racing • And many more!

Term Of Coverage

These Plans are annually renewable, or for negotiated longer periods of time. It is contemplated that the Plans will be renewed, however, the underwriters reserve the right to refuse to renew or to change the premium rates on renewal. A renewal application or a statement of good health may be required by the underwriters for consideration of renewal.

General Information

These plans are used in a number of ways to insure the professional athlete personally or to insure the team of which the athlete is a member as to the financial losses that result from a disabling accidental bodily injury or sickness. Career length varies by the sport in which the athlete performs. Exceptionally high earnings are generated in a short time span making the adequate insuring of the earning potential a primary financial planning process. Here are some of the uses of these plans:

Loss of Future Earnings
A professional athlete can anticipate income levels and probable playing time. A disability can affect the level of income to be earned in the future and a disability can shorten the career period. As an example, an athlete has no income assurance beyond the term period of the present contract. This plan can insure an income should disability shorten the expected career period.

Contract Completion
The loss of an athlete by disability puts the team in double jeopardy. Revenue may slip and the team must continue to pay the non-performing athlete. These plans can insure the contracted compensation to the athlete, thus relieving the team of that financial burden.

Loss of Endorsements
Endorsement income and fees continue to flow as long as the public remains fans of the athlete. A political statement, a drug involvement, a drunk arrest, a public relations goof, and the advertiser/endorsers pull back from sponsorship. This loss is also insurable.

Cost of Agents/Managers
During periods of disability it is in the athletes best interest to continue the use of agents and managers to keep the athlete’s value as an athlete and as a product spokesperson keenly in the minds of those who contract for their services. These costs can be insured.

College Draft Protection
Talented athletes may decide to stay in school rather than take early entry into the draft. There is a risk of sustaining a career ending disability during the final college years. These plans are available to insure the future value of a professional career.

This is a brief description of the insurance provided by this plan.
The Certificate of Insurance is the complete description of coverage.
