Automobile Insurance Rates: Promulgation, Regulation, And Equal Protection, James J. Mcgraw
Akron Law Review
T HE INTEREST in the price one pays for automobile insurance continues to grow at a rapid pace. The reason for this growing consumer interest may be attributed to the equally increasing need for automobiles, the price paid for them, and consequently, the need for insurance protection. This insurance protection has developed into a matter of major economic consequence to the auto owner.....The key to improved and efficient rate-watching is in the good faith efforts and perseverance of the policyholders themselves.

Girgis V. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co.: Rescinding The Physical Contact Requirement In Ohio Uninsured Motorist Claims, Dominick Cirelli Jr.

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This article discusses certain aspects of reparations systems that can be described by statistical parameters, but it does not attempt to evaluate whether or not pervasive sociological changes may result from legal modifications of the concept of fault. It may be that any erosion of fault as a legal concept will result in a decline in individual responsibility. The fact that some members of the bar and some members of the medical profession allegedly regularly engage in conspiracies to defeat the $1,000 medical expense threshold of the Florida statute could be cited as evidence of such deterioration. Nevertheless, this writer …
Compulsory No-Fault Medical Insurance For Automobile Owners, William L. Schlosser
Compulsory No-Fault Medical Insurance For Automobile Owners, William L. Schlosser
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The enactment of the Massachusetts compulsory no-fault insurance bill, and Senator Phillip Hart's recent introduction of national no-fault insurance legislation, indicate the serious consideration no-fault insurance is receiving as a method of reforming the existing auto accident compensation system.

Compulsory no-fault insurance is well suited to remedy these deficiencies. Under a no-fault insurance plan, benefits would be paid without regard to the question of fault; consequently, every accident victim would receive compensation without first having to …
