Courts have struggled to determine whether deaths or serious injuries resulting from certain conduct actually constitute accidents, or whether they should be considered so inherently dangerous that the reasonably prudent person would understand the possible consequences of such conduct. DRI's Accidental Death and Dismemberment: Analysis and Review (2007 - 2013) provides a synopsis of cases nationwide from over the past seven years-and the reasoning behind their decisions-that deal with issues such as drunk driving, drug overdose (abuse), and violent altercations. The compendium also addresses when losses involving pre-existing sicknesses or other medical conditions as contributing factors are still "accidents, as well as how insurers can protect themselves from adverse judicial decisions through the use of exclusions. This material can serve as an introduction as you conduct your initial research into this fascinating area of the law.
