No-fault compromise narrows Pennsylvania reform battle
Harrisburg reports a compromise to end the no fault auto insurance dispute would require motorists to carry at least fifteen thousand in medical coverage and raise vehicle registration fees to help pay catastrophic injury claims up to one million per person. The deal has general support but debate remains over allowing pain and suffering suits and potential rights restrictions. The plan awaits House and Senate votes after adjournment, with key committee action expected Monday.
