Best Answer

The term "death benefit" refers to a payment made as a result of a life insurance policy. In the case of car insurance, if there is a lawsuit for wrongful death, and a payment is ordered by the court, then the car insurance will pay. That is not exactly the same thing as a death benefit even though it is a payment made as a result of a death.
