Yes, it is always wise to add adb to a life policy. It is very inexpensive. But remember, the 2 year contestability period does not apply to adb. It can always be contested.I always add it.(most of time) |

Why is it always wise to add something that usually won't result in a claim? Isn't it wiser to take those same dollars and buy more insurance so that a death claim will be paid regardless of cause of death.

I am still awaiting disbursement of benefits from Hartford Life Ins. They are refusing to pay on a claim we made from a loss of a family member more than a year ago. The insured died of aspiration pneumonia related to prescription drug toxicity. The coronor/M.E. and doctors determined that the death was accidental. The Hartford claims suicide exclusion... and refuses to compensate the family (and 2 children). They will find a way to not pay on ADD policies. The exclusions reads "...death as a cause independent of other causation..." What the *#@% does that mean!!! And '"... by his own hand..."' because he was taking medication prescribed by a doctor!! If the doctor administered the drugs... the doctor would be liable. If the patient administered his own drugs... the patient is liable. Either way, The Hartford is exempt from liability! It would be nice if the State Department of Insurance would, truly, regulate these guys. But, they really don't. They are in collusion with the big insurance companies. I know this... for a fact!

How long was the policy in force prior to the death of the insured? This is important to know. Also need to know in what state this occurred.

Unlike the spam immediately above this post, this is advice you can rely on. Unfortunately, a $100,000 accidental death benefit is only a few dollars per month, it won't go very far in increasing the true death benefit. But the point remains valid -- Accidental Death Benefit riders are virtually free because the number of accidental death claims paid is virtually nil.
On the other hand, with honest-to-goodness life insurance, dead is dead, and the death claim is paid (except for suicide within the first 1-2 years depending on the state in which the policy was issued/delivered).

Good afternoon would you take offense stating which site platform you're utilizing ? I'm hoping to establish my own webpage in next to no time but I'm having a demanding time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution as a consequence Drupal. The reason I ask is because your model feels unique when compared to
most websites then I'm seeking for something exclusive. P.S Sorry for being off-issue but I needed to inquire!
In conclusion , give permission me thank you for your patience with my English as (I'm persuaded you have figured this at this time ,), English is not my mother tongue hence I am utilizing Google Translate to build out how to enter what I sincerely have in mind to state.

Adding accidental death to your policy is kind of like buying insurance when playing Black Jack. It normally isn't worth it. However you have to take into consideration your risk factor. If you drive alot or work in a high risk job, it may be worth it. If you are someone who has a desk job, probably not. |

Who cares about risk factors? If your family needs the money if you get hit by a car, they also need the money if you have a heart attack. If coverage is needed, by coverage. If it isn't needed, don't waste your money.
