Abstract

The effect of no-fault automobile insurance laws on fatal motor vehicles crashes was analyzed using data for states in the U.S. from 1976 to 1980. This investigation was prompted by an earlier claim that no-fault laws resulted in increased fatal crashes in the 16 states that adopted them. The present examination of the fatal crash data using multiple regression analysis provided no evidence in support of the claim that no-fault insurance laws restricting general liability have lead to increased fatal crashes in the United States.
