25 Percent Auto Insurance Hike Upheld in Rhode Island
Rhode Island insurance commissioner George A. Bisson sustained auto insurance rate increases of up to 25 percent that took effect last August in Rhode Island. The decision followed hearings demanded by public-interest advocate Juling C. Michaelson and involved testimony from major rating bureaus and insurers. Officials warned that premiums could rise further if accident costs do not ease, while arguments argued for lower or eliminated excess limits and medical payment coverage due to inadequate supporting data.
