No Fault Auto Insurance Gains Ground in California Senate
California Senate Judiciary Committee approved two rival no fault auto insurance bills ending a 17 month deadlock. The bills aim to speed claims and reduce costs by letting drivers collect from their own insurers while retaining limited court options for major damages. One bill by Fenton would require 16 percent premium cuts but bans minor pain and suffering suits. The other, supported by trial lawyers, would mandate personal injury coverage with restricted right to sue for more damages. Both await Senate floor action with adjournment near.
