    Basic Life is a policy that does not offer a huge face amount. It is moreso intended to give the insured money to cover final expenses and maybe have a few thousands left over for miscellaneous expenses. There are other policies available if you are looking for face amounts over one hundred thousand dollars. AD&D is accidental death and dismemberment which will pay additional proceeds if the insured suffers an accident that results in either death or dismemberment.

    Basic life insurance pays a beneficiary if death of the insured person occurs by any reason (except suicide in the first two years). AD&D stands for Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance. It pays the beneficiary if death occurs by accident, or it pays the insured person if they lose a limb. Basic Life with AD&D is most likely a policy that combines both those types of insurance.
