AD&D insurance pays benefits in the case of a person’s accidental death or dismemberment, which is the loss—or loss of use—of body parts or functions. AD&D insurance usually comes with significant coverage limitations, so always read the fine print. AD&D does not pay if the insured dies due to natural causes like cancer or heart disease. Known as double indemnity, AD&D may pay a benefit equal to or a multiple of (usually 2x) the regular insurance’s face amount.
