Which of the following statements BEST describes a double indemnity provision in travel accident insurance?

• A. Benefits are doubled under certain circumstances stated in the policy
• B. Benefits are doubled for all claims
• C. Benefits are paid only for medical expenses
• D. Coverage automatically ends after a year

Answer: (A)

Double indemnity in travel accident insurance means the insurer will pay twice the normal benefit, but only for specific events defined in the policy. This provision increases the payout when a covered accidental event occurs, such as accidental death or a specified loss, and only under the circumstances the policy lays out. It’s not a blanket increase for every claim, nor is it about medical expenses or about coverage ending after a set time. Those aspects relate to different components of the policy, while double indemnity is specifically about the payout being doubled for defined events during the covered trip.
