Accidental death insurance pays a lump sum should the insured pass away by accident, as defined by the life insurance policy. Many policies specify that the insured must die within 90 days of the accident or be 70 years or younger at the time of accident. Injuries or accidental death caused by acts of war, illegal activity and non-commercial radiation are also usually not covered.

Accidental death insurance can be sold on its own, as is the case with many lending institutions in Canada and credit card companies, or it can be added as a benefit to an existing life insurance policy.

Dave Jones, Californias Insurance Commissioner, has stepped up his effort to investigate top life insurance companies. The top 10 companies in the industry, the commissioner says, have been accused of not properly paying death benefits to family members after policyholders have died, which is illegal.

Companies Accused of Not Paying Benefits

Similar to an investigation against John Hancock Life Insurance Co., Jones wants to take a look at the top 10 life insurance companies under the accusation that these companies are not ensuring the beneficiaries of deceased policyholders get paid.

In addition to John Hancock, the states facing investigations are MetLife, Prudential, Nationwide, New York Life, Lincoln National, Sun Life Financial, The Hartford, Pacific Life and Aegon Group.

Jones intends to push for so-called market conduct examinations in 35 states, which will probe violations of the law by these companies. If

No exam insurance can be pretty easy to get in today’s world. It used to be that most life insurance policies, especially after age 40, were obtained after a rigorous medical examination. If the policy was large enough you would need more than one examination which may include blood or urine tests. People are taking better care of themselves and as a result life insurance companies issue policies after you answer a few questions truthfully about your family history and your medical history. They issue a no exam insurance policy, sometimes right there online.

These no exam life insurance policies are really designed for the person who is very aware of their need for life insurance but really doesn’t have the time to get a medical examination done.

Genworth Financial just released a study finding that too many Americans who need life insurance coverage are uninsured, putting their families and futures at risk. According to the 2011 Genworth Financial LifeJacket Study, single parents across all income levels with children living at home have the least insurance for their needs, potentially leaving their children with few or no options when faced with an unexpected death. Listen to Tracy Basdens story if you want to see what happens to the children in these situations.

The research project found that 69% of single parents with children living at home constitute the highest percentage of uninsured Americans compared with married parents with children in the home (45%).
