Explain no-fault insurance?

As well as what happens in a accident.


    

UCANTCME
In a no-fault state individuals need not go through the court system to have their financial loss paid if the loss results from an injury.

Two individuals who have a traffic accident may file claims with their own insurance company.

Each insurance company pays the claim for the personal injury to their policyholder regardless of fault.

First of all, under a no-fault system your insurance company pays you directly for your losses as a result of injuries sustained in an accident, regardless of who is at fault.

Similarly, the other driver collects losses for his or her injuries from his or her insurance company.

Under a no-fault law there is no need to determine who is at fault to receive payment for injury claims.

No-fault does not completely eliminate the risk of your being sued. However, no-fault laws do place restrictions on when a suit can be brought.

This means that you can be sued but only under specific conditions.

Since no-fault laws do not completely eliminate a person's right to sue, the possibility of your being sued is very real, especially in the event that you are the driver at fault in an accident that causes serious injury to others.
