SAN FRANCISCO AP A top insurance executive urged support for a no fault automobile coverage system at the state level claiming it could save car owners up to 26 percent on premiums. Louis W Niggeman president of Firemin s Yund American Insurance Companies said the current system is slow costly and often inequitable. He warned the industry risks losing auto business to the public sector unless it embraces no fault.

Niggeman noted 28 states and Congress are considering no fault and urged action beyond talk to fix adequacy reparations and admin costs.
