MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AT RISK

  • Professional Athletes (and College Draft Choices) Loss of Future Earnings Insurance
    From the point of view of the professional athlete, a lifetime’s worth of income (perhaps millions of dollars) is compressed into an expected career that may only last for several years. An unexpected death, injury, accident, or illness can cut off this income stream at any moment resulting in a financial catastrophe to the athlete and his family. The athlete may be under a contract that guarantees his income for a certain period of time, but what happens when the contract term expires? The risks and dollars involved are just too big to roll the dice without insurance protection!
  • Teams With Professional Athletes Under Contract – Contract Completion Insurance
    From the point of view of the team, an unexpected death, injury, accident, or illness to a star athlete under contract can result in lost ticket sales and a guaranteed salary that must be paid to the injured athlete who can’t perform. A team can easily be strapped with Millions Of Dollars of financial losses at a time that these resources are most needed to pick up additional talent.

Temporary Total Disability (TDD)

Temporary Total Disability protects athletes or teams against the inability of a player to perform due to injury or illness for a short period of time such as a season.

When a team purchases this coverage on an athlete, athletes can be compensated even when they can’t play and the team will not suffer a financial drain. This can be an important incentive to the athlete.

Cost of Agents and Managers

Athletes who are away from the “public eye” while recovering from a disability need to keep their agents and managers busy in promoting the athlete’s value to potential recipients of their services. Insurance can be purchased to pay for the fees of such agents and managers for their continued promotion services.

College Athletes to be Drafted

College athletes that are talented enough to be drafted have an economic interest that should be protected against unexpected injury. Such an injury, whether sustained in a college game, or in a game of pickup basketball, could jeopardize the future income potential of the athlete without this important coverage.

Team Stop Loss

Many teams can’t afford to buy Temporary Total Disability insurance or Permanent Total Disability insurance on all of its players. Therefore, they may only buy these coverages on several key players while self insuring their exposure for the rest of the team. Other teams may self insure this exposure on all of their players. But, what happens if more uninsured players than expected suffer injuries that put them out of action? This could have a disastrous financial impact on any team that self insures this exposure.

Team Stop Loss coverage can be a solution to limit a team’s overall exposure to a reasonable level since it kicks in once a team’s out of pocket disability losses exceed a certain predetermined limit. The premium cost for Team Stop Loss coverage is much lower than purchasing first dollar disability insurance on each player and it can protect a team against financial disaster.
