Floridians May to pay higher premiums auto - premiums and health - If a State does not have the right mandate fault auto insurance would end next month.

Insurers say, the transition to a wrongful act system in which the driver in an accident pay, can only benefit the consumer, because they are less fraudulent claims, reduce costs. But consumers and service providers are concerned by the fact that economies are not necessarily along insurance. And even if the car premiums, can not compensate for the reduction in coverage or cost of additional coverage auto or health-they may need.

According to the current system of accident insurance are reimbursed for the damage caused to their vehicles and all medical expenses - independently fault. They must purchase at least $ 10000 for the type of coverage an offence under body protection (PIP), which pays for medical care, rehabilitation, lost wages, and even a ceremony of mourning .

By way of comparison: in a system of offence, the driver acted negligently or is not responsible for paying the other part of medical expenses and for compensation for lost wages and pain and suffering. “There are currently 38 countries - including Colorado, which took its no-fault system repealed in July 2003 - as part of a wrongful act.

Besides Florida, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, Utah and Puerto Rico mandate is not in auto insurance.

The no-fault system has obvious advantages for policyholders: you should not wait until a disposition of the summer in case of error (and whose insurance is to pay). Unfortunately, the system has been badly abused in Florida. Fraudeurs scene deliberate “accidents” in which the victim “victims” are medical clinics participating in lots unnecessary claims.

The Insurance Information Institute pointed out that Florida is a system particularly vulnerable to abuse because they do not have to limit the reimbursement of costs, doctors and hospitals. He said fraudulent claims have been an important driver of higher premiums car in the country.

The Florida Department of Financial Services, said 370 victims of accidents false have been arrested since 1999. It represents the cost of fraud to requests from residents as $ 250 per family per year.

The move to a wrongful act is certainly the slaughter system to fraudulent claims and insurers say, they are these savings to consumers. State Farm, the largest auto insurer in Florida, she is a decline in average prices up to 16%, if the current law expires.

But a study led by the Actuarial Association Pinnacle Resources in March of this year, said that millions of $ 55.72 a total of $ 1.36 billion PIP total costs of medical care is anticipated that the next years would not be automatically reimbursed by insurers as part of a wrongful act. He said that only an estimate of 16.4% of these patients would be covered insurers, so that emergency medical systems, doctors, hospitals and wounded the driver on the hook for the rest for you.

The additional costs of the car or health coverage needed to fill this gap would plug $ 31.94 to $ 79.85 per year, depending on the nature of the plan purchased.

What do Rod Grams, the right, the senator from Minnesota, never graduated from the university, Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican known for his fire breath of the party, Slade Gorton, the pragmatic, tend-to-the Conservative components of Washington State; Joseph I. Lieberman, the new style Democrat of Connecticut, and Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the Senate’s ranking of liberal intellectuals have in common? They are co-sponsors of the car Choice Reform Act, a law this week, so that motorists to give them the right to collect damages and legal für”Schmerz automatic Leiden”im accidents.

Why are these different policies Pack - not to mention Dir Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey, Ross Perot, former Dir Michael S. Dukakis of Massachusetts, Steve Forbes and Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani - key to the neck, for one thing the absence of care either Republican or Democratic, driving licence and draws the fire of the evaluation version old bull bar and the consumer movement?

One reason is efficiency. ”Why should people in car crashes not be able, without compensation and pay for a lawyer, suffering and often years of litigation?”Claimed Senator Lieberman.

But most importantly, it is money. No pressure of money, but $ 45 billion that the Joint Economic Committee of Congress estimates motorists could save each year as part of self-Choice Reform Act “agreed if they would agree to waive their rights to bring pain and suffering.

It offers”all means class tax cut,’’suggested Michael Horowitz, director of the Hudson Institute’s Project for Civil Justice Reform,”and would not increase the deficit by a nickel.”

The average premium automobile insurance ran up $ 757 for the year 1995, yet more than half in 1987. But those who need to offset most of the few get it. A 1991 survey by the RAND Corporation, the Institute of Civil Law that victims of auto accidents where damage from $ 25000 to $ 100000, on average, received about 50 cents of each dollar lost. The losses of more than $ 100000 allowances 9 cents on the dollar.

For decades, legal reformers’ answer to this perverse combination of high insurance premiums and insecurity for payments suffered a short-circuit the judicial authorities. To this end, it pressed, told not pass Fehler””Rechtsvorschriften ensure the swift of their own insurance companies and limiting access to justice those who were seriously injured.

But with the big exception of Michigan, non-guilt has not worked well because the injury suffered by lawyers have succeeded in eliminating the obstacles in the courts. Worse, the barriers have served as an incentive to pile up in the cooperative orthopedists chiropractor and show that the injuries were indeed difficult.

Most Americans grimacer capitalized and controls on auto insurance every six months. But many others, especially urban low-income motorists have reacted in a car without insurance.

Since the adoption of a law on cars destroyed, changed many things rare G. John Hamm car sales figures in Brodhead.

Six months ago, Hamm had more than 35 cars in its inventory, it has only four. Four years ago, rebuild its business, as cars were damaged and sell up to 120 per month, he said. Well, it was likely to sell 20

The hard times have nothing to do with a slow economy, and do everything, with a new law in Kentucky under a car, the entry into force on July 15.

Until the law involved, it is easy to remove - or wash - the history of securities badly damaged a car in Kentucky. These cars are often emissaries rescue, ie, they were often damaged enough for an insurance company to pay arising from the full value of the vehicle.

The new law is Kentucky, require that the title of evacuation vehicles permanently branded products as has already been rebuilt. It requires disclosure, at the time of sale.

LAUREN ZIEJA, a shop Security Manager in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, lives where she always with Mom and Dad. It does not pay their rent, for food or other expenses. That is why, Madam Zieja, 28, away from socket $ 600 to $ 1000 per month compared to a possible waiver sleep.

Last year, she jumped a pleasant surprise to their parents: a hot bath. “It is certainly not what we asked,” said his mother, Clarice Zieja, 54 “It was their way of saying” Thank you, Mom and Dad. ”

The Ziejas are not the only ones to come and live within the family home well into post-college adulthood. The Census Bureau says 50 percent of all 18 to 24 years, living at home in the year 2003, 18 to 34 years, was 27 percent. Chubb Insurance, said she has noticed an increase of 11 per cent of the number of 21 - 25 years on parents’ self-insurance during the last two years.

Many factors may play a role, too, that many experts call post-9/11 uncertainties - like the parents of compassion for children, can be recovered from the disintegration of a romance. But many people say that the main causes of the increase are economic in nature. In some cases, the return of descendants, sometimes boomerangers can combat pay College loans or problems in finding jobs, to cover housing expenses can be. And their parents are often the culmination of their own power and performance can afford to return in

“My parents wish that I made for the duration, it helps me now,” said Nicole Dahman, lives with his parents in Louisville, where she pay claims four years at the University of Kentucky, Lexington. “If only they lead me in my own already it would hinder my chances.”

Indeed, Ms. Dahman, 23, is central to a life scene, as “emerging adulthood,” said Jeffrey J. Arnett, a development psychologist at the University of Maryland. “Almost all these children are less dependent on their parents when they were young, “he said. “But most still have some financial dependence on their parents, and almost all are up more than 30″. For health and insurance costs may make some dependence inevitable.

The best of these parent-child relations are based on certain financial provisions, or at least to some expectations that corporate responsibility: A child is unemployed, we must try to find a job. A college debt must strive to pay them. A doctoral student must click on the books hard. Assets employed children should pay rent - or some amount for parents, for their part - or invest for their own future.

“Many parents want the other way,” said Doug Charney, Senior Vice President of the Charney Investment Group of Wachovia Securities, Harrisburg, PA If that happens, he says, children themselves to build or not learn discipline responsibility.

Representative Dick Armey, majority leader of the house, he said today the legislation on the net reduction in costs of insurance automatically motorists the option of filing the lid of the pain and suffering that results of accidents.

The initiative is both an unusual movement of Mr. Armey, a Texas Republican, has sponsored, only two other bills during his tenure, a lift and a strong supporter of the option, under the name of automatic selection, we must prove that the political traction.

”The train is finally leaving the station,’’said Michael Horowitz, director of the Hudson Institute’s Project for Civil Justice Reform.

The Senate Commerce Committee hearings is scheduled for a parallel bill sponsored by two Democrats, Senators Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York and Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, with three Republicans, Senators Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Rod Grams of Minnesota and Slade Gorton of Washington.

Trial lawyers have already expressed their refusal of adoption, as some consumer groups. ”It would be difficult to nothing for the wounded,’’says Bob Hunter, director of insurance for the Consumer Federation of America. Consumer associations are also claims that the automatic selection would be unfair because it would be access to justice on the basis of a driver’s ability to pay additional premiums.

But supporters say that the automatic selection, incentives for fraud and increase victims prospects for compensation for actual economic losses, even when cutting premiums averaged $ 243 per year each driver, or $ 45 billion in Germany.

”It’s like a tax reduction for low-and middle-income Americans,’’said Armey called estimates, the RAND Corporation, the Institute for Civil Justice show that the savings would be greater pilots urban.

Auto-selection was indigenous to the frustration of failure of systems of insurance, introduced in 1970’s, escalating insurance costs. In the approach is not a mistake, was almost half the country (including New York and New Jersey), injured in car accidents are entitled to health care and lost wages on his own insurance companies, regardless fault. The victims have complained for pain and suffering only if their losses exceed a threshold, often by their doctor bills.

But non-rejection has done little to insurance costs, which rose by 150 percent in 1980, despite the decline in the number of accidents. Indeed, it seems that no two levels of increased costs by creating incentives on the eve of the doctor’s fees, in order to facilitate access to justice. If Massachusetts has increased its threshold to $ 2000 for the year 1989, the median number of visits to the doctor because of the violation of victims has increased from 13 to 30
