MORE LAWS TO
CONTENT WITH
There are a great number ot persona who boneetlf want com* pulaory auteoaviille UabiUtjr iaaur- ance, but wbo are vague aa to wbat benefits. If any, may accrue after tbe enactment of sucb legis- jation. Assume tbat we have compulaory automobile liability Insurance, what then? Those peo¬ ple who have, been injured solely through their own folly, and those who have contributed to their own injury, cannot recover under au¬ tomobile liability policies. It has beea estimated tbat in oaly 40 per cent of all peraonal Injury cases Is the motorist solely at fault. Thus, even indemnity which seems to be the thing most desir¬ ed by proponents of compulsory automobile insurance, will not be available in 60 per cent of all death and injury cases. Then, too. it does not follow that people will be more careful under compulsory automobile insurance and that deaths and injuries will decrease.
It would seem that compulsory automobile Insurance must in¬ evitably Increase the cost ot insur¬ ance. With the knowledge that everyone driving a car has behind him at least $5000 of insurance company's money, minor Injury cases will undoubtedly be magni¬ fied. Groundless claims will be more vigorously pressed. Guests will sue hosts and members o( the same (amily will sue one another, and in all these caaes. Juries can¬
not help but take a more sympa¬ thetic and lealeat view ot autoaao- hito aeelieat eaaea, (aellag aethay do tbat tha individual's money la aot iavetved, but rather tbe money o( a cold, unemotional and pre¬ sumably wealthy corporation.
The demand (or compubory au¬ tomobile insurance arises in part (rom the aupposltlon, which is largely fallacious, that most mo- toriata are flnancially irresponai- ble. CerUlnly that la not true in agricultural sUtee where most of tbe automobiles are owned by (armers who, even though they do not voluntarily insure their auto* mobiles, are in a position to re¬ spond to judgments entered as a result o( the negligent operation of their automobiles. I( compul¬ sory automobile Insurance could be established all over the nation without opposition, it is a question whetber It would be the panacea that many persons think it would.
One o( the greatest arguments against compulsory Insurance, is that It would establish a system ot more laws which would (urther curtail the right o( Indhidual ac¬ tion and enlarge our body o( o(- flceholders and public offlcials. Whenever this is done taxes seem to inevitably go up. even though the new governmental function Is supposed to be covered by (eee and asse»sments against some specified group ot people or clasa of prop¬ erty.
