Drivers uninsured to create other types of debris
Growth in the number of uninsured drivers cause serious accidents, insurance and pushes up the responsibility to repay their victims.
Hit the big cities hardest
In 19 states the increase in these types of accidents in the field of more than 50 percent to 220 percent. The main problems are occurring in major cities, officials said. In Los Angeles, for uninsured drivers, that almost one of four accidents with injuries. At Philadelphia, Denver and Miami, which is a number to three.
”This is a very serious situation for the country,’’said David N. Levinson, Delaware’s Commissioner of Insurance. ”Our opinion polls indicate that people over exciting on uninsured drivers than any other problem that we have indicated, including taxes.”He said that one third of 540000 vehicles in the state, is not guaranteed and that all claims, uninsured drivers has increased by $ 200000 in 1978 to $ 10 million in 1988, the latest year for which figures were available.
Many states, including New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, require drivers to ensure the physical integrity against damage caused by Hit and Run accident or car accidents with driver, the drive illegally without insurance.
Experts say the growth of insurance premiums is at least partially responsible for increasing the number of uninsured drivers. ”The number of uninsured vehicles has increased more rapidly in some areas where insurance costs have risen faster,’’said David L. Unnewehr, Research Director at Insurance Research Council, a professional association, as has recently analyzed data accident, which claimed, uninsured drivers from 1976 to 1986.
New York fares well
Drivers uninsured in New York City caused 8.5 percent of all serious accidents on the lowest percentage of 15 cities studied by the Council in 1986. ”New York by the law of insurance is a bit more than other states, “said Unnewehr”,” but we did not get real deep into the reasons for New York had a lower percentage than in other cities.”His study found that the number of serious accidents by drivers who are not policyholders in the state, was half the national average, while the number of accidents almost tripled to 6.3 percent in 1986, 2.3 per cent in 1976.
Other states also have at least a doubling in the number of serious accidents by uninsured drivers were Idaho, North Carolina, Tennessee, Wyoming, Delaware, Georgia, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Dakota, Colorado and Utah .
The rate clamor on the assurances of PA and requested a dozen other states for the implementation of compulsory motor insurance laws in the past 12 months.
Assekuranz debt
But Mr. Levinson and say that almost all supporters of the implementation of new efforts are inadequate, and they throw the insurance industry to block the implementation of stricter measures. They complain that the content industry in terms of cost recovery, the nation’s total auto insurance from a pool of reduced customer as a means of reducing administrative costs and profits.
”The industry would rather collect $ 750 of you, $ 750 by myself and not a Dead Beat, not insurance,’’said Levinson. ”The industry can not win by collecting $ 500 by you, me $ 500 and $ 500 from another man, it is $ 1500.”
Assekuranz spokesman confirms that businesses against auto insurance mandatory certain laws and the strict implementation of measures proposed by States, but they say that companies are consumers of this page on these issues. ”The industry is not able to say, someone must buy insurance, they will have their children before flows,’’said Nagel Shirley Schmidt, a spokesman for the Alliance of American Insurers, a trade group.
Mr. Levinson complained that the insurance sector had violently against the legislation in Delaware in the spring, which requires owners of automobile color, add the labels on the windshield as proof that it had paid for ‘insurance. ”I’ve never seen a lobby as the work effort in my life,”Mr. Levinson, rejected the proposal.
Ms. Schmidt Nagel, said the sector had legislation against the labels, because the procedure would be inconvenience, consumers and increase costs. ”It sent a quantity of paperwork she said.
