AD&D Insurance

Accidental Death & Dismemberment Coverage Options

Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage is a coverage separate and apart from your Basic and Supplemental Life insurance coverage and helps protect you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Accidental Death & Dismemberment Coverage Options

This coverage provides 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, 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.

Is your AD&D insurance beneficiary information up to date?

You should name a beneficiary for your MetLife insurance coverage(s). This ensures that MetLife will distribute the policy proceeds the way you want after your death.

We encourage you to take a few minutes to review your beneficiary designations, especially after a life event, such as marriage, divorce, birth of a child, etc.
