BMO Insurance offers a series of plans which are available directly through their call centre and via direct mail campaigns. Among these direct plans is their Accidental Death Program. It’s a stand alone accidental policy and applicants can qualify for $50,000.00 to $250,000.00 of accidental death protection without a medical.
The premiums on the plan are as follows:
$50,000.00 $ 4.99/month
$100,000.00 $9.49/month
$200,000.00 $18.49/month
$250,000.00 $22.99/month
The plan also pays off double the face amount if the insured dies as a result of an accident while traveling as a fair-paid passenger on any form of common carrier transportation (such as plane, boat, bus, or taxi). The coverage doesn’t increase or decrease, and remains in-force until the insured’s 76th birthday.
Accidental Death Coverage, while cheap is not always the best deal. Money Sense magazine recently examined whether accidental death insurance is a good value.
“Accidental deaths are rare, accounting for only about 5% of mortality. But accidental death insurance often costs more than a term life policy that would cover you no matter how you die.”
Aside from the coverage offering poor value, the biggest strike against any accident death policy is, a family doesn’t need more money just because a person dies in an accident. In fact, a family’s costs would likely be higher if the insured were to die from cancer or some other disease, which is a much more common cause of death than accidents. Besides Accidental Death BMO also offers a host of affordable Term and Permanent products sold through their independent broker channel. They are one of the leading distributors of life insurance in Canada.
