What is the Difference Between Accidental and Term Insurance?

If you're shopping for life insurance you may be wondering about the differences between accidental death insurance and term life insurance.

Accidental death life insurance plans provide a death benefit if the insured person dies as a result of an accident without a specific timeframe of the accident.

Whereas, term life insurance pays out a death benefit if the insured person dies during the term (duration) of the policy, and if the death occurs as a result of natural causes, illness or an accident.
