At Income Assured, we are passionate about amateur rugby players getting the best rugby insurance available.
Injuries sustained whilst taking part in this sport can spell disaster for those who do not have rugby insurance. Should they be signed off work, players could easily find themselves unable to pay their rent, their mortgage or their bills – a situation which can quickly escalate in to financial difficulties.
When considering buying any type of injury insurance, it can be confusing to understand what the cover actually provides. We believe people should cover what’s important to them, and most people would agree that protecting their income is the most essential. That’s why our policy focuses on income protection.
What does our Rugby Insurance cover?
This accident and sickness insurance cover provides amateur rugby players with a tax-free income if they have to take time off work due to accident, injury or illness. This covers players whether the injury was incurred on or off the rugby pitch, and as many players also have physically demanding jobs, it also protects players who get signed off work due to an accident or injury at work.
Rugby is a very rough and physical sport. There are touch tackles and plenty of hard knocks during the average game of rugby. Therefore accidents and injuries are common, including broken limbs, sprains and back injuries which could lead to time off work. In such cases it can lead to a significant drop or loss of income, especially if your employer doesn’t provide sick-pay, or if you’re self-employed. This type of rugby insurance offers peace of mind that an income will still be coming in whilst you are signed off work for a rugby injury or accident on or off the pitch. In addition to this, the insurance covers you if you are signed off work due to injuries sustained at work, as well as for illness – providing all-round income protection.
