A common misconception about Accidental Death coverage is that its primary use is for those traveling on commercial airliners, providing benefits in the event of a crash. Thus, the product is typically marketed by service providers related to the travel industry. The reality is that an AD&D policy can be very comprehensive, designed to provide coverage for most instances of death apart from natural causes.

It seems frequent that we hear of horrific, yet commonplace episodes in the news. Traffic collisions, acts of terrorism, homicides, natural disasters and other accidental incidents can unfortunately take the lives of anyone anytime and leave a family or a business in a state of economic dismay.

It is uncomfortable to use the recent bombings in Boston and tornadoes in Oklahoma as examples, but those events clearly demonstrate that tragedy may strike anywhere and that monetary benefits can help those afflicted.
