So if death occurs from natural causes, the life insurance policy will pay the original face amount. If death occurs from accidental causes, the policy will pay double the face amount, or double indemnity.Answered on June 9, 2017+01+1 this answer 0flag this answerview more answers by Peggy Mace, Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)®

The double indemnity rider you refer to pays double the face amount if the cause of death is accidental. The medical examiner makes this determination and the life insurance company will pay based on his or her ruling. If the cause of death is to be determined as natural causes, homicide, suicide, etc. the double indemnification rider will not pay, just the original face amount.Answered on July 23, 2017+01+1 this answer 0flag this answerview more answers by Tim Wilhoit
