Jr.; Powers, Michael R.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn recent years, choice no-fault has emerged as a popular but  controversial proposal for addressing the problem of high automobile  insurance rates. Choice plans offer consumers the option of a  lower-cost insurance policy with restrictions on filing lawsuits or a  higher-cost policy with full tort rights. Some American states have  implemented choice programs, and major federal choice legislation is  now pending in the United States Congress.\u003cbr\u003e  Choice no-fault has caught the attention of policy makers, the  insurance industry, and academics. Until now, however, no single book  has pulled together the available research on the topic. \u003cem\u003eThe  Economics\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eand Politics of Choice No-Fault Insurance\u003c\/em\u003e fills  that gap. Edited by scholars from different disciplines, each of whom  has written extensively on automobile insurance issues, the book  includes some of the best work in the area. Former Massachusetts  Governor and presidential candidate Michael S. Dukakis wrote the  foreword.\u003cbr\u003e  Contributors include University of Virginia Law Professor Jeffrey  O'Connell, widely considered the `father of no-fault,' as well as  authors of the influential RAND study of the potential effects of  choice no-fault on insurance rates. The book chapters, most of which  were written especially for this volume, cover topics ranging from the  impact of choice no-fault on accidents and driving behavior, to the  effects of choice on medical care usage, to alternative approaches for  resolving accidents involving both `no-fault' and `tort' electors, to  the political feasibility of choice legislative proposals. Emphasis on  the potential advantages of choice no-fault is balanced by  consideration of possible ill effects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792374671\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1541-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 344\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265525534860,"sku":"9780792374671","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792374671.jpg?v=1770782190","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792374671","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
