Observations
on
Accountability
and
Responsibility
Driver who caused the
accident
has
no
assets
Victim
of the
physical
damage is also a
victim
of the
financial
burden
Government

individuals

weapons
(automobiles) with limited liability ($30,000 minimum)
Insurance
companies
deceive
customers into
thinking
they are covered.
The courts should automatically
assign
responsibility
for real costs (medical expenses) to the injurer. This
does
not include settlements re
pain
and
suffering
which would be dealt with in civil suits. That
way,
the lien holders of those medical expenses would go after the injurer and not the injured.
