Backing Hart no fault auto plan gains ex adjuster support
John J. O'Brien a former auto insurance adjuster from Newtown Square Pa now an insurance manager for the Franklin Mint Inc testifies before the Senate Commerce Committee backing Sen Philip A Hart no fault auto insurance reform. He says the current fault system favors the affluent and harms the poor and that the no fault plan would pay medical costs and economic losses and bar compensation for pain and suffering except in severe cases. Critics from the insurance industry the American Bar Association and the American Trial Lawyers Association argue the plan would encourage reckless driving and reduce fault penalties. Lawyers earn large fees challenging auto liability cases.
