A little thing called life (insurance): June 2021

A digestible series on commonly asked questions about life insurance.

Will life insurance cover an overdose?

Life insurance covers death due to natural causes. It will also payout to your beneficiaries if you die from a motor vehicle accident, drowning, poisoning, accidental drug overdose, or another tragedy. Accidental deaths are sometimes investigated before life insurance is paid out depending on the circumstances. Typically after the 1st two years, life insurance will likely payout even if the death is deemed a suicide.

Will life insurance cover Covid deaths?

Yes. There might be additional questions regarding if the insured traveled abroad. Assuming you were truthful about your travel plans during the application process, it is unlikely to be an issue.
