accident1. Logic Philosophy a nonessential attribute or characteristic of something (as opposed to substance) 2. Metaphysics a property as contrasted with the substance in which it inheres 3. Geology a surface irregularity in a natural formation, esp in a rock formation or a river system Accident in philosophy, a term for the incidental or immaterial as opposed to the substantial or essential. It is first encountered in Aristotle’s Metaphysics and Physics; later Porphyry divided accidents into those which are separable—for example, a dream for a man—and those which are inseparable—for example, dark skin pigmentation for a Negro. The concept of accident was developed in scholasticism, which viewed several characteristics of things as “real accidents,” existing on their own without regard for the substances in which they are usually inherent. Descartes, Hobbes, and other 17th-century philosophers rejected the existence of “real accidents”; following this vein, Spinoza replaced the term “accident” with the term “modus,” by which he meant the isolated manifestation of substance. The concept of accident is encountered in Kant, Fichte, and other philosophers of the 18th and 19th centuries and also in formal logic—for example, in J. S. Mill and F. C. S. Schiller. V. V. SOKOLOV
Accident in civil law, a circumstance leading to the nonfulfillment or improper fulfillment of obligations by a debtor, without the debtor or the creditor subject to blame. As a general rule, an accident frees the debtor of liability involving his own assets. In Soviet law, the responsibility for accidents is acknowledged only under circumstances specified by law. For example, enterprises especially established to store property, such as storage and cold-storage enterprises, are held liable for accidents. The same is true of organizations and citizens whose work or other activity entails risk or danger, such as transport organizations and motor vehicle owners. Air transport organizations are held liable for death, maiming, or other injury to a passenger during takeoff, landing, or flight, as well as during the boarding and deplaning of passengers. This applies not only to accidents but also to the effects of force majeure, as stipulated in Article 101 ofthe Air Code of the USSR. What does it mean when you dream about an accident?Accident dreams can represent a variety of different situations, from straightforward fears of being in an actual, physical accident (or memories of such an accident) to a sense that one is headed for a more metaphorical “crack up.” We may be so preoccupied with something that we are not paying attention, or so involved in the rat race that we need to slow down. As extensions of ourselves, vehicles often represent the physical body, so an accident dream may indicate a health problem or anxieties about health. If the general tone of the dream is positive (even if violent), accidents may symbolize something or some part of life of which one is letting go. accident[′ak·sə‚dent] (hydrology) An interruption in a river that interferes with, or sometimes stops, the normal development of the river system. accidentA sudden, unexpected event identifiable as to time and place.

Symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) usually last a few seconds to a few minutes and are intermittent (i.e., come and go). They also may include lightheadedness, imbalance, and nausea, usually as a result of a change in position (e.g., rolling over in bed, getting out of bed). Please consult your GP about these symptoms.

Related to accident: Funny videosAccidentThe word accident is derived from the Latin verb accidere, signifying "fall upon, befall, happen, chance." In its most commonly accepted meaning, or in its ordinary or popular sense, the word may be defined as meaning: some sudden and unexpected event taking place without expectation, upon the instant, rather than something that continues, progresses or develops; something happening by chance; something unforeseen, unexpected, unusual, extraordinary, or phenomenal, taking place not according to the usual course of things or events, out of the range of ordinary calculations; that which exists or occurs abnormally, or an uncommon occurrence. The word may be employed as denoting a calamity, casualty, catastrophe, disaster, an undesirable or unfortunate happening; any unexpected personal injury resulting from any unlooked for mishap or occurrence; any unpleasant or unfortunate occurrence that causes injury, loss, suffering, or death; some untoward occurrence aside from the usual course of events. An event that takes place without one's foresight or expectation; an undesigned, sudden, and unexpected event. Accident is not always a precise legal term. It may be used generally in reference to various types of mishaps, or it may be given a technical meaning that applies when used in a certain statute or kind of case. Where it is used in a general sense, no particular significance can be attached to it. Where it is precisely defined, as in a statute, that definition strictly controls any decision about whether a certain event covered by that statute was in fact an accident. In its most limited sense, the word accident is used only for events that occur without the intervention of a human being. This kind of accident also may be called an act of God. It is an event that no person caused or could have prevented—such as a tornado, a tidal wave, or an ice storm. An accident insurance policy can by its terms be limited to coverage only for this type of accident. Damage by hail to a field of wheat may be considered such an accident. A policy of insurance, by its very nature, covers only accidents and not intentionally caused injuries. That principle explains why courts will read some exceptions into any insurance policy, whether or not they are expressly stated. For example, life insurance generally will not compensate for a suicide, and ordinary automobile insurance will not cover damages sustained when the owner is drag racing. Accident insurance policies frequently insure not only against an act of God but also for accidents caused by a person's carelessness. An insured homeowner will expect coverage, for example, if someone drowns in his or her pool, even though the accident might have occurred because someone in the family left the gate open. Not every unintended event is an accident for which insurance benefits can be paid; all the circumstances in a particular case must first be considered. For example, a policeman who waded into a surging crowd of forty or fifty fighting teenagers and then experienced a heart attack was found to have suffered from an accident. In another case, a man who was shot when he was found in bed with another man's wife was also found to have died in an accident because death is not the usual or expected result of Adultery. However, the family of another man was not allowed to collect insurance benefits when he was shot after starting a fight with a knife. In that case, the court ruled that Deadly Force was a predictable response to a life-threatening attack, whether the instigator actually anticipated it or not. Different states apply different standards when determining if an accident justifies payment of benefits under Workers' Compensation. Some states strictly limit benefits to events that clearly are accidents. They will permit payment when a sudden and unexpected strain causes an immediate injury during the course of work but they will not permit payment when an injury gradually results from prolonged assaults on the body. Under this approach, a worker who is asphyxiated by a lethal dose of carbon monoxide when he goes into a blast furnace to make repairs would be deemed to have suffered in an accident. However, a worker who contracts lung cancer after years of exposure to irritating dust in a factory could not claim to have been injured in an accident. Because of the remedial purpose of workers' compensation schemes, many states are liberal in allowing compensation. In one state, a woman whose existing arthritic condition was aggravated when she took a job stuffing giblets into partially frozen chickens on a conveyor belt was allowed to collect workers' compensation benefits. Insurance policies may set limits to the amount of benefits recoverable for one accident. A certain automobile insurance policy allowed a maximum of only $200 to compensate for damaged clothing or luggage in the event of an accident. When luggage was stolen from the insured automobile, however, a court ruled that the event was not an accident and the maximum did not apply. The owner was allowed to recover the full value of the lost property. Sometimes the duration of an accident must be determined. For example, if a drunken driver hit one car and then continued driving until he or she collided with a truck, a court might have to determine whether the two victims will share the maximum amount of money payable under the driver's liability insurance policy or whether each will collect the full maximum as a result of a separate accident.

While the lay person uses the term with implications of blame, the lawyer tends to use it in a neutral sense to describe the phenomenon.ACCIDENT. The happening of an event without the concurrence of the will ofthe person by whose agency it was caused or the happening of an eventwithout any human agency; the burning of a house in consequence of a firebeing made for the ordinary purpose of cooking or warming the house, whichis an accident of the first kind; the burning of the same house by lightningwould have been an accident of the second kind. 1 Fonb.

2. It frequently happens that a lessee covenants to repair, in whichcase he is bound to do so, although the premises be burned down without hisfault. 1 Hill. Ab. c. 15, s. 76. But if a penalty be annexed to thecovenant, inevitable accident will excuse the former, though not the latter.1 Dyer, 33, a. Neither the landlord nor the tenant is bound to rebuild ahouse burned down, unless it has been so expressly agreed. Amb. 619; 1 T. R.708; 4 Paige, R. 355; 6 Mass.

This term in chancery jurisprudence, signifies suchunforeseen events, misfortunes, losses, acts or omissions, as are not theresult of any negligence or misconduct in the party. Francis' Max. M. 120,p. 87; 1 Story on Eq. Sec. 78.
Jeremy defines it as used in courts of equity, to be "an occurrence inrelation to a contract, which was not anticipated by the parties, when thesame was entered into, and which gives an undue advantage to one of themover the other in a court of law." Jer. on Eq. 358. This definition isobjected to, because as accident may arise in relation to other thingsbesides contracts, it is inaccurate in confining accidents to contracts;besides, it does not exclude cases of unanticipated occurrences, resultingfrom the negligence or misconduct of the party seeking relief. 1 Story onEq. Sec. 78, note 1.
2. In general, courts of equity will relieve a party who cannot obtainjustice in consequence of an accident, which will justify the interpositionof a court of equity. The jurisdiction being concurrent, will be maintainedonly, first, when a court of law cannot grant suitable relief; and,secondly, when the party has a conscientious title to relief.
3. Many accidents are redressed in a court of law; as loss of deeds,mistakes in receipts and accounts, wrong payments, death, which makes itimpossible to perform a condition literally, and a multitude of othercontingencies; and many cannot be redressed even in a court of equity; is ifby accident a recovery is ill suffered, a contingent remainder destroyed, ora power of leasing omitted in a family settlement. 3 Bl.

AccidentAn unintended event that causes harm of any kind. An accident may be unavoidable; for example, one may hit a deer while driving a car, despite taking all appropriate precautions, simply because the deer ran in front of the car. Other accidents are the result of negligence; for example, a driver may unintentionally hit another car because he was speeding and under the influence of alcohol. The party responsible for paying damages in the event of an accident depends on a number of factors, notably which party, if any, was negligent. In some cases, one may be responsible for paying damages even if there was no negligence. Lawsuits attempting to determine responsibility are commonplace. See also: Indemnity.See ACC
