Casey touts no fault auto plan in Harrisburg
Gov. Robert P. Casey proposed an optional no fault auto insurance plan that would let drivers sue only in limited cases. Premiums would drop 37.6 percent for those with threshold no fault, and county motorists would save about 44 percent with typical coverage. The plan mirrors a proposal by Rep. Steve Freind and aims to curb uninsured drivers while requiring broad availability of auto insurance across the state.
