What is 'Accidental Death And Dismemberment Insurance - AD&D'. Accidental death and dismemberment insurance (AD&D) is a rider attached to a health insurance or life insurance policy covering death by accidental means and dismemberment, including the loss of or the loss of use of body parts or functions (meanings limbs, speech, eyesight or hearing).
AD&D is a way to layer additional coverage on top of life insurance. The extra coverage from AD&D can help a family cope in the aftermath of a tragedy.
