Term Insurance Policy
Term insurance policies have become quite popular in recent years. This is because they are simple to obtain, affordable, and provide a lump sum payment in the case of a death claim. The perks of Term plans and riders enable policyholders and their families to get the most out of their policies. Purchasing a term plan is an investment in one's peace of mind, as the benefits and coverage are carried on to the dependants.
Even though term insurance plans are designed to provide insurance coverage to the beneficiary of the insured person, there are some death events that are not covered. A brief summary of the types of deaths that are and are not covered by a term insurance plan is provided below.

Types Of Death Covered And Not Covered In A Term Insurance Policy
Even though term insurance covers sudden deaths, there are some fatal accidents that fall under certain categories that are not covered by term insurance. The types of deaths that are and are not covered by term insurance policies are listed below:
Natural Deaths Or Deaths Caused By Health-related Problems
A term insurance policy covers natural deaths as well as deaths caused by health-related issues. If the policyholder dies as a result of a critical illness or medical condition, the beneficiary of the policy will receive the sum assured as a death benefit.
1. Death By Suicide
If the insured commits suicide during the first 12 months of the start date of the policy, the beneficiary is allowed to receive 80% of the premium paid if the insurance is not linked. In the case of linked plans, if the policyholder commits suicide during the first 12 months of the policy's start, the beneficiary of the policy receives 100% of the premium paid. The benefits of the policy will be nullified and the policy will be terminated if the policy holder commits suicide after the policy has been in effect for one year.
2. Accidental Death
Term plans also cover the death of the life assured in the case of an accident. Furthermore, many term plans have an additional accidental death benefit rider, which pays an additional sum assured to the beneficiary of the policy in addition to the basic sum assured in the case of the accidental death of the policyholder.
3. Self-inflicted Injuries
If the insured dies as a result of self-inflicted injuries or any hazardous activity, the beneficiary's claim will be rejected by the insurance company.
4. Intoxication
If the policyholder dies as a result of a drug or alcohol overdose, the insurance company will not give the beneficiary a death benefit.
5. Homicide
The insurance company will deny the claim if the insured is murdered by the beneficiary and the inquiry reveals the involvement of the nominee in the crime. The insurance company will put the claim request on hold until the beneficiary gets clearance.
6. Natural Disasters
In general, term insurance protects the family in the case that the life assured dies as a result of a natural disaster. The insurance company then pays the money assured to the nominee as a death benefit.
