Accidental Death & Dismemberment Coverage Options
This valuable coverage benefits beyond your disability or life insurance for losses due to covered accidents — including while commuting, traveling by public or private transportation and during business trips. MetLife’s AD&D insurance pays you benefits if you suffer a covered accident that results in paralysis or the loss of a limb, speech, hearing or sight, third degree burn or brain damage or coma. If you suffer a covered fatal accident, benefits will be paid to your beneficiary.
Covered Losses
This AD&D insurance pays benefits for covered losses that are the result of an accidental injury or loss of life. The full amount of AD&D coverage you select is called the “Full Amount” and is equal to the benefit payable for the loss of life. Benefits for other losses are payable as a predetermined percentage of the Full Amount, and will be listed in your coverage in a table of Covered Losses. Such losses include loss of limbs, sight, speech and hearing, various forms of paralysis, brain damage and coma. The maximum amount payable for all Covered Losses sustained in any one accident is capped at 100% of the Full Amount.

Everyone is different, but you may need more than you have now. The insurance you need changes as your life changes (for example: getting married, starting a family or buying a home). Many people are surprised to learn that they don’t have enough life insurance to cover the many expenses their loved ones may face.
