uniform simultaneous death act
Definition
A law that details how insurers will proceed should their insured and the insured's beneficiary both die in the same accident, in such a manner that it is impossible to determine which one died first. In such a situation, the insured will be presumed to have died first, and the insured's contingent beneficiary will receive any benefits the insured had left to the beneficiary.
