The Economic Treatment Of Automobile Injuries, Alfred F. Conard
The Economic Treatment Of Automobile Injuries, Alfred F. Conard
Michigan Law Review
The automobile has changed more than Americans' ways of transportation. It has changed their ways of housing, of working and playing, of eating, living, and loving. It has also added to their ways of suffering and dying.
The suffering and dying have called forth two kinds of treatment. The better recognized kind is medical treatment, which staves off death and minimizes pain and disability among the living.
