A live insurance company is a company that holds a "life insurance" policy on a person. The policy is taken out by a person and fees are paid. And, if for some reason the person's life ends, the policy is paid out to the beneficiaries as long as the death was not done on purpose.
If I'm not mistaken, life insurance is paid out on death. It may have a clause that pays the premiums on it in event of disability, but that, like a policy that pays you on disability, is basically under a disability insurance benefit, not life insurance policy.

"There are many different insurance companies out there, such as MetLife and American General, that offer accidental death insurance. The best way to find accidental death insurance is to contact insurance companies that provide life insurance and contact them for the rates and the terms that the insurance will be paid out should an accidental death occur."
Life insurance proceeds are not taxable when they are paid out as a death benefit. Depending on the amount of the insurance policy the payout options should be either lump sum, annuitized, fixed monthly payments for a period of time, or left with the insurance company in an interest bearing account with check writing privileges.
Most legitimate death claims are paid within 60 days of death, presuming you have supplied a legitimate death certificate.
