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.

Mar 16, 2023 at 17:26 comment added jwh20 You may want to update this question and include a link to the answer you reference by Dale M. The premise you stated does not appear to me to be a valid position.
