accident

For example, if a driver (who is covered under personal automobile insurance for injury and losses due to negligence) willfully drives the vehicle into a tree, the resulting injury or loss is not insured. Similarly, insurance policies do not compensate for obsolescence or wear and tear because their occurrence is inevitable in normal course of things. See also incident.
