Personal Injuries In Canadian Motor Vehicle Insurance Policies And The Conflict Of Laws: An Introductory Foray, Alastair Bissett-Johnson
Personal Injuries In Canadian Motor Vehicle Insurance Policies And The Conflict Of Laws: An Introductory Foray, Alastair Bissett-Johnson
Dalhousie Law Journal
At one time the personal injuries aspects of a motor vehicle insurance policy were relatively simple. The insurer agreed to meet the cost of personal injuries caused to a third party by the fault of the insured. These are normally referred to as Section A benefits. In time, however, the coverage of the policy could be increased by the payment of additional sums so as to permit: i) the insured persons to recover against their own insurer for injuries or loss caused by an uninsured or under-insured driver in circumstances in which liability existed at common law; ii) recovery by …
Medical Maloccurrence Insurance: A First Party No-Fault Insurance Proposal For Resolving The Medical Malpractice Insurance Controversy, Larry M. Pollack
Medical Maloccurrence Insurance: A First Party No-Fault Insurance Proposal For Resolving The Medical Malpractice Insurance Controversy, Larry M. Pollack
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Part I of this Note examines the broad, underlying themes of tort theory and argues that, in general, the tort system's primary responsibility should be compensation, rather than deterrence of risk taking. In so far as the production of goods and services causes injury, such losses should be shared and spread as widely and proportionately as possible. Part II discusses the history and nature of the medical malpractice insurance crisis. Part III evaluates the numerous systemic solutions suggested by various commentators. Finally, Part IV proposes a new solution: first party, no-fault medical maloccurrence insurance (MMI).

The Fault Concept In Personal Injury Cases In Minnesota: Implications For Tort Reform, Michael K. Steenson
The Fault Concept In Personal Injury Cases In Minnesota: Implications For Tort Reform, Michael K. Steenson
Faculty Scholarship
Legislative tort reform proposals have attempted to restore what is perceived to be an imbalance in the tort-litigation system by limiting tort recoveries. One of the motivating factors behind tort reform proposals is a concern that tort law has deviated from a fault-based system of liability. It is this concern over the structure of the fault system in Minnesota that is the subject of this Article. This Article examines Minnesota Supreme Court opinions of the 20th Century to determine whether the court's decisions deviated from a fault-based system of liability. The focus is on change, accepted and rejected. The purpose …

Protection Of Shipowners’ Liability Under United States Law And Marine Insurance Practice, Izak Stephanus Fourie
Protection Of Shipowners’ Liability Under United States Law And Marine Insurance Practice, Izak Stephanus Fourie
LLM Theses and Essays
Shipowners are exposed to a variety of risks that are, to a large extent, unique to maritime business. Because of factors like the recent increase in the size and value of ships, increase in marine traffic, enactment of legislation imposing new liabilities, and the tendency of courts to make huge awards to personal injury and death claims, shipowners are exposed to potential losses or claims worth millions of dollars in the event of disaster. These heavy risks led to the establishment of the marine insurance industry, as well as the enactment of legislation that limits shipowners’ liability. This legislation was …
