Product Description:
In this volume two lawyers debate which kind of automobile insurance is the best, no-fault or tort liability. This text presents in one place all the legal, political, historical and financial arguments about the two types of auto insurance. Under the fault system currently used by 37 US states, tort law provides that the party at fault in the accident pays the full damages of accident victims. Phillips favours this system, arguing that it allows for fair compensation to the injured and deters drivers from dangerous behaviour on the road. Chippendale counters this claim with the argument that tort-law based insurance combines high cost and low benefits, and that those who truly profit from it are the lawyers representing injured clients, while their claims clog up the court system.

want to go out and get in a fender-bender myself. We've all seen the famous Driver's Ed movies about the deadly physical and emotional consequences of auto accidents, but rarely has there been such in-depth treatment of the risk management and allocation consequences. I've read many books on insurance (and even reinsurance), but with the exception of Ostrager and Vyskocil's work, none have kept me turning the pages like Phillips and Chippendale. Look for more brilliance from this duo; the Simon and Garfunkel of the no-fault insurance literary community.

While I have long followed the work of Jerry J. Phillips, it is more than obvious to the intelligentsia that Stephen Chippendale is the powerhouse in this dynamic duo. Chippendale takes the reader on a tour de force fandango adventure in the no-fault world, it really is quite very first rate. He might be a younger attorney, but that is not about to intimidate that bad boy
