Catastrophic Insurance, termed CAT, is without a doubt the best buy in athletics insurance. It provides extended coverage for catastrophically injured athletes and with its benefits assists the injured person in leading a normal lifestyle. Not only will CAT coverage pay medical, disability, adjustment, vehicle, home, and education benefits, but it serves to deter possible lawsuits resulting from the injury.

This coverage is available to employees of the athletics department. Some schools elect to insure all employees, while others elect to insure key employees. Either way, levels of coverage may vary according to job description.
This coverage is also available for “guests” of the athletics department and would be in effect during travel or while on camps at the invitation and expense of the athletics department.
