No fault auto insurance studied by 28 state legislatures
No fault auto insurance laws have been debated in 28 state legislatures this year with only modest chances of passage. Proponents argue the plan reduces litigation and speeds claim payments by using carriers of the insured rather than the at fault driver. Massachusetts currently enforces the only state no fault law since January 1, mandating bodily injury coverage up to $2,000.
