This policy pays out a death benefit if an accident causes death within a specific time period. However, the accident has to be the direct cause of death.
Accidental death is usually fairly inexpensive, you need no medical exam and there is typically no waiting period. Therefore, in cases where you have been denied traditional insurance because of your health, or becasuse traditional is too expensive, this type of insurance can provide some level of security. However, it is not preferred over traditional insurance because nobody knows how he or she will pass away.
