Accidental Death Coverage Before a Life Insurance Policy Starts in Singapore
Learn about accidental death coverage between application and policy start in Singapore, based on LIA's explanation.
Understanding Pre-Policy Accident Coverage
In Singapore, the Life Insurance Association Singapore (LIA) explains that certain life insurance products sold to retail customers by life insurance companies may include coverage in the event of your death caused directly and solely by an accident in Singapore. This coverage applies during a specific period: between the time when the insurance company receives the completed and signed application form together with full payment for the first premium and the start date of that policy.
This pre-policy coverage is conditional on the death being caused directly and solely by an accident, and it must occur within Singapore.
