Accident or event which happens without human intervention, usually due to natural causes, i.e. storm or earthquake. Suggesting that an event was an "act of God" may be a defence in English law against a claim for liability since it could not have been foreseen or safeguarded against.

An event which is caused solely by the effect of nature or natural causes and without any interference by humans whatsoever. Insurance contracts often exclude "acts of God" from the list of insurable occurrences as a means to waive their obligations for damage caused by hurricanes, floods or earthquakes, all examples of "acts of God".

An act beyond human control, such as lightning, flood or earthquake.

An incident which occurs that is beyond typical foresight - for example an earthquake or a major storm. These events are described as an "act of God", potentially yielding a case in which liability cannot be ascribed because of the extraordinary circumstances that arose.
See more Motorcyle Insurance Terms ...

A calamity beyond human control which happens to property lightning, for example. Damage done by an Act of God would not be the responsibility of a bailee, although he/she might be responsible for many other calamities. Acts of God are excluded by the usual bill of lading and, to the extent not specifically assumed, by insurance policies.
