double indemnity rider
Quick Summary
A double indemnity rider is a provision in a life insurance or accident policy that allows for the payment of twice the contract's face value in the event of accidental death. This rider can be attached to a life insurance policy for a nominal charge. It serves as an additional benefit, increasing the payout to beneficiaries if the insured's death is a direct result of an accident.12
