Will Life Insurance Pay For A Drug Overdose?

Life insurance typically covers drug overdoses unless the policy specifically excludes deaths from substance use or abuse; however, if the death occurs within the first two years, the policy’s contestability clause may allow the insurer to investigate and potentially deny the claim.

You can contact your insurance representative or check the exclusions section of your policy. Generally, it is found after the main coverage section of your insurance policy.
