Sickness and Death Insurance or Accidental Death Insurance.

Depends on your context. Where a risk is involved I suppose it would be the latter.

according to Jurlex

Risicoverzekering: "Levensverzekering, waarbij de verplichting van de verzekeraar tot het doen van een uitkering of een reeks van uitkeringen aleen dan onstaat, indien het overlijden van de verzekerde voor de in de polis genoemde datum plaatsvindt. Tot de risicoverzekeringen behoren o.m. de tijdelijke overlijdensverzekering, de ideaalrenteverzekering, de overlevings-renteverzekering de risico-ideaalverzekering, en de risico-studieverzekering." (Assurantietermen en wetsartikelen, R.A. Haverkoorn Van Rijsewijk, ISBN 90 6007 614 1).

Please note that in British English, a distinction is made between life ASsurance and non-life INsurance, the former covering an event that eventually has to happen, and the latter being an event that may or may not happen.

See http://www.momentum-net.com/middle/Stakeholder.htm

Stakeholder plans can also be a very cost efficient way of providing life assurance for one’s dependants’, due to the tax relief available. Within the overall contribution limits, an amount equal to 10% of your total contributions can be paid to a plan to provide TEMPORARY LIFE ASSURANCE cover until retirement when the cover will cease.

According to\"Woordenboek Verzekeringsbedrijf Nederlands Engels - Engels Nederlands, ISBN90267256761:
\'Term assurance\' = kapitaalverzekering bij overlijden, risicoverzekering.

It doesn't matter if there's a risk of death or not. The point of overlijdensrisicoverzekering is to relieve your survivors of your debts in the event of your own death. You're at risk to die every day anyway, doesn't matter what you're doing. So I think the risico aspect is superflous. And contrary to Jarrys late-posted disagree comment, I would be inclined to refute that on that note. Dutch insurance agencies translate it simply as "life insurance" but if you want to throw in the risk aspect, then put in Accidental Death, which is what we have on our policies over here anyway. Accidental Death Insurance you can use temporarily or indefinitely depending on whether you know you're at an increased risk to die or not. My scholarship organization covered me under Accident Insurance when I was sent across the country and the world every summer to do internships, and it was only valid during the summer. So bunk all the blah about the rest of it... whether it should be insure or assure or whatever. What's discussed or provided by the policy "Insurer" dependent anyhow. So if your insurer wants to say "we don't insure you or we won't give you as much if you put yourself at an extra risk to die" (which is the equivalent of saying that "life insurance" doesn't carry a risk factor with it) then you'd be STUPID to insure yourself through that company anyway. Under a policy like that it's like saying you get cut short of your payout if you drive your car to work.

Some other more specific terms can be found here, but it\'s all basically \"Life & Accidental Death\" insurance. No need to be any more specific than that IMHO:

and

sometimes known as 'life cover' in a compound policy.
'Whole of life' cover defines a policy that only pays out if you die. In other words, you die, you win!
An 'endowment policy usually matures at say 65, and apys out both if you survive or if you die earlier than the maturity date.
These days 'life cover' is usually incorporated in a 'superannuation' policy.
