A Professional Athlete Almost Sidelined by Insurance
This is a true story about an athlete who suffered a sports injury that turned into an insurance nightmare.
He was a college basketball star who played in the NBA. His success had afforded him tremendous wealth, and he owned homes and cars on each coast. He didn’t give much thought to insurance, though. He opted for minimal limits from cheap companies. One home and several cars didn’t have coverage at all.
The injury changed everything
For a professional athlete, an injury is always a serious matter. For this athlete, his injury didn’t just put his future career and earnings in question. It also put the wealth he’d already accumulated at risk. Suddenly, he needed coverage that he didn’t have.
More than insurance
Thankfully, he contacted RightSure for help. The agents at RightSure were granted Power of Attorney to secure coverage on his behalf. They combined his policies into one seamless offering with one monthly bill.
But there was more work to be done. RightSure worked with two different motor vehicle departments to get his vehicles correctly registered, and the required proof of insurance was supplied to his lien holders.
The properties he’d worked so hard to attain were finally secure, allowing him to focus on recovering from his injury.
20/20 hindsight – key lessons learned
- If you’re a busy athlete, don’t let insurance matters fall by the wayside. The agents at RightSure can help you. The same goes for other busy professionals.
- It’s OK if you’re not an insurance expert. Most people aren’t. But if you’ve accumulated valuable properties, you need to enlist the help of someone who is.
