What Exactly is "Accidental Death" in Insurance?
If you're facing a denied Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance claim in California, Phoenix (Arizona), Seattle (Washington), Idaho, or Las Vegas (Nevada), Dorian Law P.C. can help. "Accidental death" generally means a fatality resulting directly from a sudden, unexpected, and unintentional event like a car accident, fall, or drowning, but policies exclude things like illness, suicide, and often drug overdoses. Whether your policy is governed by ERISA (federal law for employer-sponsored plans, with a mandatory appeals process and focus on "reasonable expectations," employing either a two part test or a substantial certainty test) or state law (which varies, with California focusing on unforeseen events and other states relying on policy language), insurance companies may dispute claims. Dorian Law P.C. understands these complexities, including the specific laws in your region, and will fight to secure the AD&D benefits you deserve. Contact us today for a consultation if your claim has been denied.
