In The Five Decades After The Civil War, The United States Witnessed A Profusion Of Legal Institutions Designed To Cope With The Nations Exceptionally Acute Industrial Accident Crisis. Jurists Elaborated The Common Law Of Torts. Workingmens Organizations Founded A Widespread System Of Cooperative Insurance. Leading Employers Instituted Welfarecapitalist Accident Relief Funds. And Social Reformers Advocated Compulsory Insurance Such As Workmens Compensation.John Fabian Witt Argues That Experiments In Accident Law At The Turn Of The Twentieth Century Arose Out Of Competing Views Of The Loose Network Of Ideas And Institutions That Historians Call The Ideology Of Free Labor. These Experiments A Century Ago Shaped Twentieth And Twentyfirstcentury American Accident Law; They Laid The Foundations Of The American Administrative State; And They Occasioned A Still Hotly Contested Legal Transformation From The Principles Of Free Labor To The Categories Of Insurance And Risk. In This Eclectic Moment At The Beginnings Of The Modern State, Witt Describes American Accident Law As A Contingent Set Of Institutions That Might Plausibly Have Developed Along A Number Of Historical Paths. In Turn, He Suggests, The Making Of American Accident Law Is The Story Of The Equally Contingent Remaking Of Our Accidental Republic.
