Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Accident and Employer's Liability Insurance Accident insurance is of comparatively modern origin. In the seventeenth century the idea of insuring individuals against accidents seems to have been first contemplated in France. But not until the middle of the nineteenth century was the first English company formed for this purpose. The first American company was not organized until about 1860. In England the policies were framed for the purpose of paying definite indemnities for specific injuries, such as the loss of a limb, blindness, etc., The earliest American policies were based on their English prototypes. They were not adapted to the newer country, with its different customs and habits of life, its varied occupations and risks, and the companies which had embarked in the business met with disaster and failure. Shortly the pioneers in the industry undertook the scientific construction of a system of accident insurance, evolving new tables of rates, new classifications of risks, and new methods of business, based upon conditions in the United States. In a short time it was demonstrated that by a statistical and mathematical calculation a table of risks could be prepared on the same principle employed in the construction of mortality tables by life insurance companies, upon which could be based a reliable and equitable system of accident insurance. In the United States accident insurance was inaugurated with the sale of so-called "accident tickets" to travelers on railroads covering only risks of travel, and in most instances good only for periods of twenty-four hours or the duration of specific trips. These tickets were sold at railroad stations. It soon became manifest that only a small percentage, not above ten per cent., of accidents resulted from traveling. Gradually the policies were made broader and more comprehensive in their scope. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Selection of Cases on the Law of Insurance, Especially Fire, Life, Accident, Marine, and Employers Liability: With an Appendix of Forms, Etc This is a true case book. From the officially reported cases, as here reprinted, the student is expected to deduce for himself the precise rulings of the courts, which together constitute a comprehensive summary of the law of insurance. The brief headnotes indicate the topics or questions involved, but give no clue to the decisions of the courts. The statements of fact, also, have, in most instances, been rewritten. As an aid to an interesting discussion and profitable development of certain doctrines, a case on either side of the border line is reproduced. In Part I general principles are considered; and, in Part II, the more significant clauses of the policies, in the sequence in which they occur in the several instruments. Definitions, explanations, subsidiary points, numerous condensed cases and citations of selected authorities to date are given in finer print. Some such supplementary treatment by way of amplification or explanation is almost a necessity. Many of the decisions in insurance law are highly exceptional or arbitrary in their character. A few cases, culled here and there from thirty thousand, if unqualified, are too apt to be occasions of stumbling as well as of support. We are satisfied to train our students to reason, provided only they reason in terms of sound law. Otherwise they must fall short of attaining success in their professional career. If the class is to study the case of Home Mutual Ins. Co. v. Tompkies, or similar ruling, they must also compare with it the case of Brighton Beach Racing Assn. 1. Home Ins. Co., for not even an expert might confidently infer that the courts would draw the dividing line between the two.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Work Accident Indemnity in Iowa This volume is an outgrowth of the chapter on The Law of Employers' Liability in the writer's History of Labor Legislation in Iowa a book published by The State His torical Society of Iowa in 1910. An expansion Of that chap ter which would bring the narrative down to date and sup plement the analysis of Iowa laws with a comparative survey of accident indemnity in other States and countries was undertaken early in the spring of 1911 at the request of The State Historical Society of Iowa. Originally designed as a paper for the Iowa Applied History Series, it soon appeared that so short a sketch would not in itself be adequate in deal ing with a subject at once so large, so complicated and, in the United States, so comparatively new. The study has, accordingly, grown to the proportions of a volume, and the paper which was at first planned has been issued as an abridgment in the Iowa Applied History Series.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses Made at the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Liability Insurance Association, 1911 Given dynamite, electricity - construction at great heights - work un'der' compressed air - high power machinery - red hot steel in a dozen different shapes - and accidents must follow as surely as night follows day. Statistics prove it, if we need them. Such industrial accident figures as we have, vary about as much as the figures of births, deaths, and marriages. Any intelligent man must see that an employers' liability law based on fault is ridiculous in the face of the industrial accident situation of today. He must ultimately acknowledge the justice of the new principle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Preliminary Analysis of the Legal System of Employers Liability in the State of New York But at common law the employer has certain defenses to an action at law brought by an injured employee which are very important. (a) Contributory negligence. If the employee who is injured has failed to use reasonable care himself and that neglect has contributed to his injury he can recover nothing from the employer, and the employee must show his freedom from negligence to make out his case. This defense of contributory negligence has always been a part of the common law of this state and of the English common law. (b) Fellow Servant Rule. If the employee be injured by the negligence of a fellow servant that fact will bar his recovery against the employer at common law. This fellow servant rule is a special rule applying only to employees, which was incorporated into the common law by two decisions about 1840, one by Lord Abinger in England, one by Chief Justice Shaw in Massachusetts, and was certainly adopted on insufficient reasoning. It had never previously existed at common law. The fellow servant rule has been limited by decisions in this state in two important particulars: 1. The rule will not avail the employer as a defense if the negligence of the fellow servant was a failure of one of the duties (previously described) which by law rest on the employer himself; i. e., such as the duty to provide a safe place to work. 2. A superintendent in general charge of work and so acting is not a fellow servant within the meaning of the fellow servant rule, but the alter ego of the employer, and for his neglect the employer must respond in damages. (c) Assumption of Risk. The third important common law defense which the employer has is the doctrine of assumption of risk.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Employers Liability for Personal Injuries to Their Employees The legislature at its last session directed an investigation of the subject of the liability of employers to workmen for injuries received while in the discharge of their duty, and a consideration of what changes, if any, are needed in the existing laws relative to such liability. A careful investiga tion of the law and facts which bear upon the subject has been made, and it has been fully considered in its various phases, with especial care, for the first time, so far as known in this country. It is a subject which, in all its varied relationships, is by no means easy of comprehension. It is fruitful of embarrassments. And hedged about with difficul ties, but at the same time of no inconsiderable consequence to the welfare of the community. During the nine years ending with 1881 there were, according to the Railroad Gazette, persons killed, and injured, in the United States, on the railroads alone; and of these, were killed and injured on the railroads of this Com mon wealth. A large majority of both the killed and injured were employees. Of those killed in this Commonwealth, 358 were of this class, while of those injured there were (553. During the year 1881 alone, 72 employees were killed and 128 injured in this Commonwealth. \vhen one single branch of employment causes such an annual sacrifice as this, it seems to be time to consider whether something cannot be done to prevent it.
