Does Life Insurance Cover Cancer Death? 
Unless the policy was for accidental death only , it will cover death from cancer or any other illness . All true life insurance will . Accidental death policies should not be considered part of your life insurance coverage . You should count them more along the lines of your lottery tickets . They only pay off in the rare event that you die of an accident . The worst part of accidental policies are that they give people a false sense of security and prevent many people from ever getting around to buying the coverage they actually need .
