Excerpt from A Standard Accident Table, as a Basis for Compensation Rates: Distribution of Distribution Accidents
The rapid growth of compensation legislation in this country has created a sudden demand for accident statistics which the American statistical literature was utterly unable to meet. The majority of American compensation acts are based upon private compensation insurance which may be solvent only when based upon accurate premium computations. The German method of assessment insurance for industrial accidents can only be successful when built upon a compulsory organization of the insurance carrier. This method has been followed in a few states only, notably Washington and West Virginia. The difficult problem of calculating proper rates for compensation insurance, rates which should not be excessively high and yet sufficient to meet all the slowly developing charges resulting from accidental injuries, found the business of casualty insurance somewhat unprepared. The development of compensation legislation was so precipitated and so unexpected that there was little time to prepare the necessary material.
As compensation was a substitute for the discredited system of employer's liability, so insurance of the obligations created by compensation acts developed out of the methods of employer's liability insurance. Naturally enough the casualty companies (that is the insurance companies writing so-called miscellaneous lines, including almost all lines outside of life, fire and marine, liability insurance being the most important of these) were forced to rely upon the experience under liability insurance for making hurried estimates as to the probable cost of accident compensation. It became evident very soon that the two systems were entirely different, not only from the point of view of social justice, but also from that of insurance practice.
