The insured under a $100,000 life insurance policy with a triple indemnity rider for accidental death was killed in a car accident. It was determined that the accident was his fault. The triple indemnity rider in the policy specifies that the death must not be contributed to by the insured in any manner. In this case, what will the policy beneficiary receive?
A $0
B $50,000 (50% of the policy value)
C $100,000
D $300,000 (triple the amount of policy value)
C $100,000
The triple indemnity accidental death rider obligates the company to pay three times the face amount of the policy if the insured dies as a result of an accident. The death must be accidental and not contributed to by any other factors and must occur within 90 days of the accident. In this case, since the insured contributed to his own death, the triple indemnity rider is void, but the beneficiary will still receive the policy's death benefit.
