Protect Your Team from Life’s Unexpected Tragedies
Protect Your Team from Life’s Unexpected Tragedies
When accidents happen, the right protection makes all the difference. Group Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance helps employees and their families recover financially from serious injury or loss — offering security when life takes an unexpected turn.
Group Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance provides financial protection if an employee suffers a fatal or life-altering accident. It pays a lump sum to the employee or their beneficiary in cases of accidental death, or partial benefits for serious injuries such as loss of limbs, sight, or hearing.
Including AD&D as part of your employee benefits plan demonstrates your company’s commitment to safeguarding your workforce — beyond standard health or life insurance.
Workplace Benefits partners with leading Canadian carriers like Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life, and Desjardins, providing expert advice and competitive coverage options for organizations across Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about employee health benefits
Is AD&D insurance the same as life insurance?
Not exactly. Life insurance covers death from any cause, while AD&D covers only accidental death or serious injury. Many employers offer both for full protection.
Does AD&D cover injuries outside of work?
Yes — most plans cover accidents anywhere, 24/7, not just on the job.
Can employees add family members to their AD&D coverage?
Yes, optional family coverage can be added to protect spouses and dependents.
How are AD&D benefits paid?
Benefits are typically paid as a lump sum directly to the employee or their beneficiary after a covered accident.
How much does AD&D coverage cost?
Group AD&D insurance is one of the most affordable benefits available, especially when bundled with group life insurance.
