Accidental Death Insurance

Another layer of protection for the unexpected.

Accidental death insurance can be an affordable way to add financial protection. It can supplement life insurance you already have, provide additional coverage at a lower cost, or offer another option if health concerns make traditional life insurance difficult to obtain.


If an accident results in your death, the policy provides money to the person or people you've chosen to receive it. That money can help replace lost income, pay a mortgage or other debts, cover final expenses, or simply help with everyday financial needs.


Accidental death insurance is different from traditional life insurance—it pays when death is caused by an accident, not an illness or other medical condition.

If you passed away unexpectedly in an accident, the financial responsibilities you helped support wouldn't simply disappear. Accidental death insurance can provide additional money to help the people you care about with everyday expenses, housing costs, debts and other financial needs. 



Consider the Protection You Already Have

If you already have life insurance, accidental death coverage can add another layer of protection. If traditional life insurance is difficult to obtain or doesn't fit comfortably within your budget, it may also provide another option to consider.

Accidental death benefits are paid in addition to other life insurance or benefits you may already have in place. 

How Much Coverage Should You Consider?

There isn't one amount that's right for everyone. A good place to start is thinking about the financial responsibilities the people you care about would still have if you passed away unexpectedly.


  • Everyday living expenses
  • Mortgage or rent
  • Utility and phone bills
  • Car loans and other debts
  • Childcare
  • Future education costs
  • Final expenses


The goal isn't simply to choose a large number. It's to think about what financial help the people you care about might actually need.
