In this video, we'll take a closer look at 10 major death cases that are typically not covered in a #standard term insurance plan.

#Death due to intoxication - Unfortunately, if the #policyholder dies while driving under the influence or as a result of a narcotic overdose, the insurance company will not pay out the death benefit.
Death due to hazardous activities - Participating in adventurous activities such as #hiking, #skydiving, or bungee jumping can be seen as a threat to the policyholder's life and therefore are often excluded from coverage.
Death due to natural calamity - Death caused by natural disasters such as #earthquakes or #floods is not usually covered by term insurance, unless the policyholder has opted for a specific rider to cover these risks.
Death due to #terrorist attacks - Tragically, if the policyholder dies as a result of a terrorist attack, their death benefit cannot be claimed by the #beneficiary.
Suicidal death - If the #policyholder takes their own life within the first year of the #policy term, the nominee will not receive the death benefit. Some insurance companies will cover suicide from the second year on.
Death due to terminal disease - Some term insurance plans cover death caused by critical illnesses such as cancer, while others may require the policyholder to purchase a critical illness rider. If your plan does not offer this coverage, you should consider adding it.
Death due to childbirth - Sadly, many life insurance policies exclude death resulting from #pregnancy complications or #childbirth.
Death due to undisclosed habits or diseases - It is crucial to disclose all relevant details about your #life and #lifestyle, including any pre-existing conditions or habits such as smoking or drinking, to avoid having your claim denied.
Homicide - If an investigation reveals that the nominee was involved in the policyholder's death, they will not be entitled to the death benefit until they are acquitted by the judiciary.
Death due to man-made calamities - Man-made disasters such as war, civil war, or riots are not typically covered in life insurance plans.
