But instead of dwelling on the complicated process of obtaining life insurance, is it possible that AD&D insurance may be the first and easiest step in protecting your loved ones should something happen to you?

No one likes to think about accidents and the possible effects one could have on you and your family.

However, to entirely ignore such topics is not a wise financial move. It’s your responsibility to make sure there are provisions in place for such events. AD&D insurance (sometimes also referred to as Personal Accident Insurance) is often overlooked for these reasons.

Many people do not know much about AD&D insurance because it is often written as a rider attached to a larger policy such as a life insurance policy.
