Mar 16, 2023 at 19:28 | comment | added | ohwilleke | @user6726 Yes. One sense of the word "accident" is a loss causing incident caused by negligence. This ambiguity since the word has more than one sense to it is why casualty insurance policies almost always avoid using the word "accident" in their official legal language, usually preferring "incident." | |

Mar 16, 2023 at 17:53 | comment | added | user6726 | You might also want to explain what you think an "accidental act" is. An involuntary nerve spasm might count: normally we think of an "accident" as being an outcome resulting from a well intentioned voluntary action that had an unforeseeable negative outcome. | |
