Accidental Death and Dismemberment Claims
If Your Accidental Death & Dismemberment Claim Has Been Denied, We Can HelpAccidental Death and Dismemberment insurance protects you and your family members in the event of an accidental injury or death. The policy terms define the kinds of accidents covered, such as car accidents, fires, falls and injuries from heaving machinery. Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance policies also include a number of exclusions from coverage, such as diseases of the body, substance abuse, or self-inflicted injuries. Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance carriers rely on those exclusions to deny benefits when you need them most.

Your right to Accidental Death and Dismemberment benefits depends on a number of facts, including the plan language, the particular coverage you elected, and the circumstances surrounding the injury or death. You have the right to appeal the denial, and your chance of success depends on a thorough investigation and preparation of your case.
