ACCIDENTAL DEATH INSURANCE
An Added Layer of Protection for Life’s Unexpected Accidents
Accidental death insurance is designed to provide a benefit if the insured person dies as the result of a covered accident, as defined by the policy.
PFG helps you review whether accidental death coverage may make sense alongside the protection you already have, based on your family responsibilities, current coverage, budget, and overall protection goals.

Accidental death coverage is limited to covered accidents and generally does not provide a benefit for death from illness or natural causes. Eligibility, exclusions, benefits, and availability vary by insurer, product, and state
PROTECTION FOR COVERED ACCIDENTS
Accidental Death Coverage Can Add Another Layer of Protection
Accidents can create sudden financial challenges for a family. Accidental death insurance is designed to provide a benefit when death results from a covered accident, subject to the policy’s terms and exclusions.
Some families consider this coverage as an additional layer of protection alongside other life insurance, especially when they want more accident-specific coverage within their budget.
Because accidental death insurance generally does not cover death from illness or natural causes, it is important to understand where it fits—and where it does not—within your overall protection plan.
Family Financial Support
A covered benefit can help provide additional funds for household expenses, debts, and other financial responsibilities after a covered accidental death.
Additional Protection
Accidental death coverage may complement life insurance you already have by adding protection specifically for qualifying accidents.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH, EXPLAINED SIMPLY
Straightforward Accident Protection Without Health Questions
The accidental death policies PFG offers are designed to provide a benefit if the insured person dies as the result of a covered accident. Because the coverage is focused specifically on accidental death, it can offer a substantial amount of protection for a comparatively modest premium.
These policies are guaranteed issue within the carrier’s eligibility requirements, which means there are no health questions and no medical exam. That can make the application process simple for people who want additional protection without going through traditional medical underwriting.
Many of the accidental death policies we offer also include a return-of-premium feature. Depending on the policy, eligible premiums may be returned if the coverage is kept in force through the required period and the policy terms are satisfied.
PFG helps you compare benefit amounts, premiums, return-of-premium features, covered accidents, and important exclusions so you can decide whether this type of protection makes sense alongside the life insurance you already have.
Important to Know
Accidental death insurance is different from traditional life insurance. It generally provides a benefit only when death results from a covered accident and does not typically cover death from illness, disease, or natural causes.
Guaranteed-issue eligibility, benefit amounts, return-of-premium provisions, covered events, exclusions, age limits, and availability vary by policy, insurer, and state. Return-of-premium benefits are subject to the specific contract requirements.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions About Accidental Death Insurance?

What is accidental death insurance?
Accidental death insurance is designed to provide a benefit if the insured person dies as the result of a covered accident, as defined by the policy. It is focused specifically on accidental death rather than illness or natural causes.

For the accidental death policies PFG offers, there are generally no health questions and no medical exam. Coverage is guaranteed issue for applicants who meet the carrier’s eligibility requirements.
Is accidental death insurance the same as traditional life insurance?

What does return of premium mean?
Many of the accidental death policies PFG offers include a return-of-premium feature. Depending on the policy, eligible premiums may be returned if the coverage is kept in force through the required period and the contract requirements are met.
