Florida Accident Program for Firefighters, Police and other Correctional Officers
Florida's state laws mandate certain accidental death benefits for firefighters, police and correctional officers. ACE's Florida Accident Program is designed for firefighters and law enforcement officers who suffer catastrophic injury in the line of duty. It provides the insurance they need to help protect their families and their financial security in the event of a tragedy. The amount of the death benefit payable is based on whether the officer's death occurs while performing in the line of duty or in fresh pursuit, or whether he or she is killed as the result of an unlawful or intentional act. Accidental death benefits are intended to meet the minimum requirements set forth in Florida statutes 112.19 and 112.191. Additional benefits may be less than those required by law.
