At Disability Insurance Law Group, our Fort Myers accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) claims attorneys know that when individuals or family members pursue their AD&D coverage, it is because of a life-changing event.

Common Incidents Involving Accidental Death & Dismemberment

AD&D insurance typically covers accidents that result in the policyholder’s death or specific types of injuries or dismemberments.

These policies vary, but common accidents that may lead to AD&D claims include:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian accidents that result in death or specific injuries may be covered by AD&D insurance.

  • Falls

Accidental falls, especially from significant heights, can result in injuries covered by AD&D if they lead to dismemberment or death.

  • Workplace Accidents

Industrial or workplace accidents that cause fatal injuries or dismemberment may be covered.

  • Sporting or Recreational Accidents

Injuries sustained during sports or recreational activities, such as hiking, skiing, or swimming, may be covered if they result in specified injuries or death.

  • Natural Disasters

Some AD&D policies may provide coverage in the event of a death or dismemberment caused by a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or tornado.

  • Accidental Poisoning

Ingesting harmful substances accidentally, such as toxic chemicals or drugs, leads to death or dismemberment.

  • Assaults or Violent Crimes

Injuries sustained during physical assaults or violent crimes may be covered under specific AD&D policies.

  • Accidental Drowning

Drowning incidents in which the insured person dies or suffers dismemberment due to an accidental submersion in water.

  • Accidental Fires

If an accidental fire leads to death or specified injuries, AD&D insurance may provide coverage.

  • Accidental Electrocution

Electrocution accidents that result in death or dismemberment may be covered.

It is important to note that the specific types of accidents and injuries covered by AD&D insurance can vary between policies. These policies often have detailed terms and conditions, so it is crucial to read and understand your policy to know precisely what is covered and under what circumstances. Additionally, coverage limits and exclusions may apply.
