Roles Of Government In Compensating Disaster Victims, Stephen D. Sugarman Jan 2007

Roles Of Government In Compensating Disaster Victims, Stephen D. Sugarman

Stephen D Sugarman

Government has many roles to play with respect to the compensation of victims of catastrophes: on the insurance side (helping make insurance available ex ante, assuring insurer solvency and fair payment of claimants ex post) and on the compensation side (where government is at fault, where tort rights are reduced, where commuities face destruction, and where special altruistic concerns are present).

"Pay At The Pump" Auto Insurance: The California Vehicle Injury Plan (Vip) For Better Compensation, Fairer Funding, And Greater Safety, Stephen D. Sugarman Mar 1993

"Pay At The Pump" Auto Insurance: The California Vehicle Injury Plan (Vip) For Better Compensation, Fairer Funding, And Greater Safety, Stephen D. Sugarman

Stephen D Sugarman

This small book offers the basic argument for a comprehensive auto no-fault plan that is largely funded by payments made as motorists purchase gasoline. This VIP "Pay at the Pump" plan would replace the current scheme of tort liability and private automobile liability insurance. It would save most motorists money, it would more fairly price the cost of auto accidents, it would promote safer cars and safer driving, and it would far better compensate victims (especially seriously injured victims) of auto accidents than does the current scheme.
