Senate panel approves national no fault auto insurance bill
The Senate Commerce Committee backed a national no fault auto insurance bill claiming a reduction of about $1 billion in annual driver costs. The plan uses insured drivers compensation via their own policies with no fault determination or lengthy lawsuits. It would set federal standards for four-year state action with a federal fallback, amid opposition from trial lawyers and some administrations while consumer groups back the measure. Sixteen states already have no fault laws.
