Excerpt from Accident Insurance: A Lecture
By the way, what is an accident? A clear and comprehensive answer would be warmly welcomed in the claim department of every accident insurance company. Up to date each time some proud discoverer has imagined that his definition would hold - that he has hit upon an unfailing formula - the endless cup-chain of events has dipped down into the bottomless well of evolution and brought to the surface a new and unthought-of combination of circumstances, smashing the formula into little bits. No lexicon comes within hailing distance of a solution.
Suppose, for an instance, a Penn man and a Princeton man should engage in an altercation, and the Princeton man should "break the face" of the Penn man and "put him out of commission."
Would that be an accident?
Perhaps you think it would be an impossibility.
Later I shall tell you, briefly, what kind of an accident you must have in order to pry up the lid of an accident insurance company's strong box.
The Beginning of Accident Insurance in this Country.
The Travelers Insurance Co., of Hartford, was chartered in 1863, and that may properly be said to be the beginning of accident insurance as it is known to-day. Prior to that English companies had granted insurance against the hazard of railway travel, but general accidents were not considered insurable until then.
The first contract of accident insurance made in this country was for a premium of two cents.
