accidental death benefits denied
QUESTION: Hi Richard,
My dearest best friend of 30 years was recently killed in a car accident. As
beneficiary, I was denied accidental death benefits from her insurance co.,
because her BAC was .117. The police report states the cause of the
accident was snow and icy road conditions. Could this be a valid appeal to
the claim? Thank you for your time.
ANSWER: Hi Cynthia, I am not sure what you mean by BAC. Do you mean the blood alcohol level? Is this a no-fault death benefit that you are putting a claim in for due to an automobile accident? Let me know.

QUESTION: Sorry, yes, I mean blood alcohol level. This was a life insurance policy she had
through her job. The life insurance claim was paid, but she also had accidental
death coverage. That is the claim that was denied. It was an auto accident. She
was alone and also the driver of the vehicle. I don’t know if it is a ‘no-fault’ -
probably not, since they denied the claim.
