casualty insurance

Insurance concerned with legal liability for personal injuries or damage to property of others, including many other types of insurance, such as workers compensation, plate glass, burglary, boiler and machinery, aviation, etc. "Casualty" is generally accepted to cover all classes outside the definition of "property insurance," so that a property and casualty company would tend to handle all forms of insurance other than life.
