has gloss | eng: In insurance, Accidental death and dismemberment (also known as AD&D) is a term used to describe a policy that pays additional benefits to the beneficiary if the cause of death is due to a non-work-related accident. Fractional amounts of the policy will be paid out if the covered employee loses a bodily appendage or sight because of an accident. In the event of accidental death, this insurance will pay benefits in addition to any life insurance held. Death by illness, suicide, or natural causes is generally not covered by AD&D. Additionally, AD&D generally pays benefits for the loss of limbs, fingers, sight and permanent paralysis. The types of injuries covered and the amount paid vary by insurer and package, and are explicitly enumerated in the insurance policy. |
