Insurance Solution

High Limit Disability Income Protection

Professional Athletes

In the eyes of the domestic carriers, Professional Video Game Players are considered professional athletes and therefore can not access disability insurance through traditional markets. Professional athletes' ability to play is their ticket to future income and when a body part is injured beyond repair, their playing career ends along with their source of income.

Fortunately, for marquee college and professional athletes, Lloyd's of London and the Excess Lines market provides “own occupation” coverage that is designed to pay a lump sum benefit for career ending injury or illness.

As Lloyd's of London Coverholders, Exceptional Risk Advisors designs High Limit Disability Income Protection policies for Athletes and team captains of all industries, like CEOs, hedge fund managers, private equity professionals, and technology experts.

We extended an offer of $35,000/month of coverage on top of the currently in-force policy through the traditional carriers. The premium growth for year one was 25% and year two was almost 10%.
