Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance Provided By Our Agency

Unlike Workers’ Compensation, which covers only work-related accidents, AD&D insurance applies wherever covered accidents happen, such as at home or on the road for your employees.

What is Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance?

Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance helps pay a lump sum in the event of a covered accident. Expressly, these covered accidents could not be foreseen and are fatal or dismembering. This accidental death and dismemberment policy do not cover deaths due to prior medical conditions.

It’s a variation of life insurance that only pays out if the death is from an accident (or, in some cases, homicide). It usually only pays out if the premiums are paid, just like a term life insurance.

What does Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance usually cover?

Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance policies (AD&D) provide benefits for covered accidents that result in a fatality, paralysis, the loss of a limb, eyesight, hearing, speech, and more. An AD&D plan may include coverage for employees only or employees and dependents and typically provides 24-hour coverage no matter where a covered accident occurs, whether at work, home, or away for:
  • Loss of Life
  • Loss of Speech
  • Loss of Hearing
  • Loss of a Hand, Foot or Sight
  • Loss of Thumb and Index Finger on Either Hand
  • Loss of Movement

Advantages of Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance

Accidents are the third leading cause of death in the United States. An accidental death impacts the surviving loved ones emotionally and financially as they now deal with the sudden loss of income. The death benefit from an AD&D policy can add peace of mind by lessening that burden.

If offered through an employer, participating employees may realize a cost of a few dollars per month. However, even when purchased individually, the prices are considerably less than rates for term insurance offering the same face amount.

Suppose your company has employees who work with dangerous machinery or on high-rise buildings. In that case, these types of insurance might be worth investing in as they can protect the lives of both employers and employees from accidents resulting from negligence.
