The wider assessment
An ordinary policy may not match a sporting occupation
Occupation definitions, exclusions and the way income is earned can affect cover. We look at club sick pay, existing policies and personal commitments before discussing any referral needed. Career-ending injury and contract-loss insurance are specialist areas and should not be assumed to be included.
Cover depends on underwriting and policy terms. No specialist sporting injury or loss-of-contract cover is promised by this page.
