Finance Quick Answers
What is an accidental death life insurance rider?
An accidental death benefit provides double or triple
payment if the insured's death is caused by an accident.
It may be ill advised. Your survivors would need the
same amount of financial support, whether you die in an
accident or from a health problem, and you will pay
extra for the accidental death rider.
