CASUALTY INSURANCE 



The term "casualty" refers to an identifiable event of a sudden , unexpected 

 or unusual nature j a mishap. In general, this means that a casualty loss must 

 result from a sudden destructive force. Damage from a normal process or from 

 progressive v/earing out of property through a steadily operating cause — such as 

 the steady -t/eakening of a foundation from v/ind and v/eather not unusual in nature — 

 is not a casualty loss. The fact that a flood, hurricane or other disaster is 

 near is not a casualty, A casualty results only when actual physical damage occurs 

 to property or there is a partial or complete loss of property. Fire , v/ind storm 

 damage, flood , collision , accidental death of livestock , damage by lightening , and 

 hail , are examples of casualty losses. 



Farmers are likely to have much of their capital in values of buildings, 

 livestock, equipment, crops, feed, and supplies, all subject to casualty losses.
