Summary
Details

""The Employers' Liability Insurance Corporation Ltd. 1880-1930"" offers an authoritative and comprehensive history of one of the pioneering institutions in the field of modern insurance. Written by Sir Harry Perry Robinson and Sir Joseph Broodbank, this work chronicles the first fifty years of the corporation's existence, beginning with its foundation during a pivotal era of industrial growth and legal reform in the late 19th century.

The narrative explores the development of liability insurance as a response to the changing relationship between employers and laborers, specifically focusing on the shifting legal landscape surrounding workplace accidents. From its Victorian origins through the complexities of the early 20th century, the book details the corporation's expansion, its strategic leadership, and its role in establishing global standards for financial protection in the industrial sector. Readers will find a detailed exploration of how corporate policy and social necessity intersected to create the modern insurance framework. This work serves as a vital historical record for those interested in business history, the evolution of maritime and industrial law, and the institutional development of the British financial sector during a period of significant global transition.
