How is Senior Accidental Death coverage different from life insurance?

While life insurance typically provides benefits to an individual's family no matter how a death occurs, Senior Accidental Death coverage provides benefits to victims and their family only in the case of an accident - for example, a car accident or a work accident. It does not provide benefits for individuals who die naturally or due to an illness.
