Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter VII. PHYSICIANS' LIABILITY INSURANCE PHYSICIANS' LIABILITY: Policies of this character have become a great necessity to all classes of physicians on account of the prevalence of suits for malpractice. Such actions are often brought to avoid payment for services rendered, sometimes for purposes of blackmail, and occasionally they are fostered through professional jealousy or enmity. The defense policy contemplates only the payment of counsel and witness fees and the management of the litigation, including investigation, advice and negotiations for settlement. The liability policy includes, in addition to such defense, the payment to the assured of the amount of any verdict, which he may be compelled to pay out on account of any alleged malpractice. The hazard insured against is the consequence of a civil suit for "malpractice" on account of bodily injuries, or death resulting from some alleged error on the part of the assured or his assistant. Prompt notice of all claims must be given so that a successful defense or favorable adjustment may be effected. Settlements may be made only with the consent of the assured, thus enabling him to insist upon a vindication if he deems it best. Ascertain whether the claim falls within the terms of the policy, particularly as to the date of the alleged treatment, the sobriety of the assured or his assistant, as well as compliance with the policy conditions. If suit has been instituted, arrangements should be made to prevent default until the investigation can be completed. No physician guarantees the success of his treatment, whether it be medical or surgical, and no presumption of carelessness arises from failure alone. Physicians are legally bound to place at the service of their patients a...

The articles in this volume were first presented at the Seventh and Eighth Conferences on Economic Issues in Workers' Compensation sponsored by the National Council on Compensation Insurance. A principal objective of the Conference series has been for workers' compensation insurance researchers to apply state-of-the-art research methodologies to policy questions of interest to the workers' compensation insurance community. This community is a rather diverse group--it includes employers, insurers, injured workers, regulators, and legislators, as well as those who service or represent these groups (e.g., physicians, rehabilitation specialists, labor unions). Despite this diversity and the variety of agendas, the Conference series continues to address many important policy questions. Readers familiar with the Conference series and the four previously published volumes should notice an evolution in terms of the topics addressed in this volume. In the earlier conferences, the topics were more often concerned with the underlying causes of the tremendous increase in workers' compensation benefit payments. In the present volume, h- ever, only four of the fourteen chapters directly concern workers' c- pensation insurance benefits, while the other ten concern the pricing of workers compensation insurance. This is not to suggest that workers' compensation cost increases have abated. In 1989, workers' compensation incurred losses exceeded $45 billion to continue the annual double-digit cost increases. Two explanations can be offered for the somewhat altered focus of this volume. First, despite the continued increase in prices, the financial results for the workers' compensation insurance line continue to be poor.

This large-scale comparative study analyses the two principal mechanisms employed in modern legal systems to deal with the social problem of occupational illness and injury, namely, employers' liability and workers' compensation. It provides a detailed description of the systems in operation in twelve countries around the world, investigating the complex legal structures and the interaction with other social institutions, as well as their inter-jurisdictional coordination through private international law. Current international trends are identified and assessed and the fundamental political issues highlighted and explored. The study's ultimate goals are not only descriptive but also to answer the question of how compensation and liability systems can best be adapted to meet society's needs in the 21st century. The countries covered are: Australia (Mark Lunney), Austria (Ernst Karner/Felix Kernbichler), Denmark (Vibe Ulfbeck), England and Wales (Richard Lewis), France (Florence G'Sell/Isabelle Veillard), Germany (Raimund Waltermann), Italy (Alessandro P Scarso/Massimo Foglia), Japan (Keizo Yamamoto/Tomohiro Yoshimasa), the Netherlands (Siewert D Lindenbergh), Poland (Domenika Dörre-Nowak), Romania (Christian Alunaru/Lucian Bojin) and the United States of America (Michael D Green/Daniel S Murdock). The book is completed by three concluding essays that address general themes: Thomas Thiede, The European Coordination of Employers' Liability and Workers' Compensation Ken Oliphant, The Changing Landscape of Work Injury Claims: Challenges for Employers' Liability and Workers' Compensation Gerhard Wagner, New Perspectives on Employers' Liability - Basic Policy Issues

With the profit motive, it is axiomatic that the insurance company will try to pay as little as possible on claims. It will use every legal device that is available in the interpretation and application of its contracts (policies), and from time to time, will stretch the restrictive clauses in them. The information provided in this book will give the reader the ammunition with which to confront the insurer, corporate entity or wrong doer on a more level playing field. Unlike most other books on this subject, this work includes loss procedures under property insurance policies such as homeowners and commercial contracts. The other drivers insurance company has agreed to pay the cost to repair the collision damage to you new car, but is that all there is. No, you could be entitled to more. The section dealing with automobile property damage will disclose some cash you may have overlooked. You or a resident relative hits an errant shot on the golf course and instead of its intended destination, the ball smashes the windshield of another members car on the parking lot. You are probably not legally liable for the damage, but you can be a good guy and pay the cost to repair under a special coverage in your homeowners policy. Look at all the possibilities in Infrequently Reported Homeowners Claims. As a member of a same sex marriage in a state where such unions are recognized, what are your rights with respect to the injuries or wrongful death of a spouse? See chapter (Damages) for a discussion of this question. The drunk driver who caused your injuries may not be your only source of restitution. Take a look at Liquor Liability. A kitchen appliance you have not altered in any way causes a fire that seriously damages your home and injures you or members of your family. What are your rights with respect to claims against the manufacturer or vendor of the product? If you, a friend or relative has been involved in an accident that might have been the fault of another or suffered an insured property loss, this book has the potential to save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, resulting from underpaid claims or needless expense.
