Basic AD&D Coverage
Besides the full amount of the Basic Life, Basic AD&D benefits are payable for losses that occur within 100 days of an accident and as a result of accidental bodily injury, independent of all other causes, for loss of life, or loss of both hands, both feet, sight of both eyes or any such combination. One-half of the full amount is payable if you lose one hand, on foot, or the sight of one eye.
