Which abbreviation represents 'Casualty' in the caption 'Guardian Cas. Co.' as used in Bluebook style?

Bluebook practice uses standard abbreviations for common words in party names. In a caption like Guardian Cas. Co., the word Casualty is abbreviated to Cas., while Company is abbreviated to Co. So the full, expanded name would be Guardian Casualty Company. The form Cas. is the correct abbreviation for Casualty in this context because it keeps the caption concise and consistent with Bluebook rules for shortening common terms. Spelling out Casualty or abbreviating both words as Cas. Co. would not indicate the specific abbreviation for Casualty alone.
