insurance, along with their "doctor" friends and the judges they both donate money to. The unspoken triangle of why our insurance rates are some of the highest in the country.


Everyone always misses the boat on this one. The reason we have high insurance rates is very complicated, but part of it is because we have such bad drivers and such a high number of uninsured drivers.

However, if you want to stop all the auto liability tort lawyer, insurance rate madness, all you have to do is lower the jury trial threshhold to $5,000 and prohibit attorneys from contributing money, directly or indirectly, to judges' campaign funds or for advocacy in any judicial election.

Another approach would be to impound and sell all uninsured autos and require one year of pre-paid insurance on all automobiles. If insurance isn't pre-paid for a year, no inspection sticker, no license plate, no title, etc.

Meh. There are bad drivers all over. Uninsured? I see very few. Way over 90% of the UM claims I see are under, not un.

How about extending the prescriptive period from one year to three? So many suits are filed because the client is still treating a year after the wreck.
