Whilst risks of injuries or illness are often unavoidable, the financial impact can be negated with proper planning and correct insurance. Depending on a footballer’s circumstances we recommend one of or a combination of, the below: Permanent total disablement (PTD) Inc Accidental Death An insurance policy that pays a lump sum benefit in the event a player’s career is ended prematurely through accidental bodily injury or illness. In the event of accidental death, the benefit would be paid to the insured’s beneficiary. The policy provides the player with 24hr worldwide cover including when they are on international duty. Temporary total disablement (TTD) Playing contracts vary depending on the country. Legislation in each country will dictate how long a club is obliged to pay a footballer’s salary after they sustain a serious injury. A TTD policy can supplement a professional’s salary until they are fit to resume their profession.
A footballer or sports professional’s career is short. Should a player sustain serious injury it can be shorter. Insurance is a vital tool of a player’s wealth management. Accidents can occur in a match, in training, or anywhere such as a car accident. A player’s financial situation can change significantly in event of an accident, and injury insurance is the first line of defence in wealth protection. In the event of a successful claim, a player receives a lump sum, a tax-free benefit that can be anything around 5x the annual salary. Insurance gives peace of mind and financial security.
