How Does Accidental Insurance Work?
Accidental death products are some of the most straight forward products when it comes to life insurance. You still have the same structure as a level term life insurance policy like:
Along with being the most affordable type of life insurance product on the market, these products usually end at around the age of 60 to 65 so you probably want to purchase them early on.
Like with any type of insurance, the younger you are when you purchase it the lower the monthly premiums will be.
An accidental insurance policy is going to cover you for any type of death associated with an accident.
There isn't any type of contestability period associated with these policies, if your death results from an accident, the Death benefit will be paid out to your Beneficiary.

How To Get The Best Accidental Death Insurance ?
When it comes to getting the best insurance for accidental death you have to look at a few things:
If you make sure your policy has at least 3 or all of those things then you will honestly get the best accidental death policy around.
AD&D Isn't Disability Insurance
I have found that sometimes people get "Death and Dismemberment Insurance" confused with "Disability."
These are two separate types of policies:
AD&D
An AD&D policy will protect your familys future in a different way.
Usually this policy will pay out for things like:
It also covers death from a car accident, most people assume that car insurers would cover this but their main focus is the actual vehicle, not the driver.
Disability Insurance
I like to think of disability policies as paycheck insurance.
If you are unable to work due to a disability, it basically will pay out to cover you during your down time.
You can use this coverage to pay for things like:
How much accidental death life insurance do you need?
Most traditional life insurance companies allow you to purchase up to 30x your annual income, but we tend to recommend that you have at the least 10x your annual income in life insurance.
So if you make $50,000 / year, a policy for $500,000 would be our suggestion.
Is An Accidental Death Policy Worth It?
In order to answer this question properly, I think we must first look at some of the statistics around an accidental death insurance policy:
If you're between the ages of 25-34, you are almost 5 times more likely to pass away from an accident than from cancer.
As a matter of fact, from the ages of 25-44, accidental death is your single greatest risk.
We can gets you covered in minutes, not weeks, with plans starting at just $6/mo.
Now, along with the fact that accidental coverage is super cheap and has no underwriting attached to it, I think its a great policy to have and it is 100% worth it.
If you have been unable to get traditional life insurance due to your health or just want additional protection, then buying an accidental policy is a no-brainer.
accidental death vs Traditional life insurance
The first question you probably had was, is accidental death the same as life insurance?
The biggest difference is that traditional life insurance comes with what is called an "All Cause Death Benefit" attached to it.
This "All Cause" benefit means that the policy will pay out for death caused by an accident, chronic or critical illness, and terminal illness.
With Traditional Insurance you are basically covered for any type of death, even suicide after the policy specific waiting period.
You will also find that with Traditional Life Insurance you are basically covered for any type of death, even suicide after the policy specific waiting period.
There is also the option to purchase life insurance with no medical exam or with an exam.
Now here's the thing:
Don't be alarmed, the policy is called an Accidental Death policy, so that is all that you really need it to do, cover you for an unexpected accidental death.
If you need a policy to cover more than that, then you should check out our term life insurance quotes.
With Accidental Death Insurance, you are only covered if your death is caused by an accident.No other cause of death is covered, check out our chart below:

AD Vs AD&D OR (Accidental Death And Dismemberment)
It is very easy to become confused when looking for accidental life insurance because there are cases where the policy will have dismemberment insurance attached to it.
However, these are two completely different types of insurance, and while both of them will cover final expenses for you from dying in an accident, only the plan that has AD&D will cover you for death or injury by dismemberment:
AD&D
An AD&D policy will protect your familys future in a different way.
Usually this policy will pay out for covered accidents like:
Be sure to get some solid benefit amounts since this policy will cover injuries or death.
AD
These policies will provide financial coverage if your death is the result of an accident.
I am sure you can think of thousands of things that could happen that would be considered accidental.
*The policy that we offer doesn't come with dismemberment coverage.
What Is Not Considered Death By Accident
The show 1,000 Ways To Die showed all sorts of deaths that result from an accident.
While these accidents probably would have been covered, there are some things this policy won't cover:
