According to the Centre for Disease Control, accidents are the number one cause of death for individuals between the ages of 25 and 44. While we hope the unthinkable won’t happen to ourselves or our loved ones, unfortunately, there is no guarantee. Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance is available for that very reason: to protect yourself and those you love in the event of a tragedy. But what is AD&D Insurance? How can it benefit the average Canadian? Is it worth the cost? These are all reasonable questions that many Canadians have; so let us answer them.
What Is Accidental Death And Dismemberment Insurance?
As the name suggests, this is an insurance policy that covers accidental deaths as well as life-changing accidents that impair one’s ability to function, like loss of limb, sight, or speech.
If you were to pass away from an accident, your loved ones would receive a cash settlement, or, if you are gravely injured you would receive living benefits. The amount of money paid out is based on the severity of the injury.
What Is Covered Under Accidental Death And Dismemberment Insurance?
This coverage is unique to traditional life insurance because it only covers death and injuries from accidents, not natural causes or disease. Generally, you’re covered for accidents that occur while you’re at home, work, or travelling. Death from an accident does not have to be immediate, however, it does have to occur during a certain period of time following the accident to be covered under the policy.
