Over the past century, tort law and insurance have developed deeply intertwined legal and economic roots. Insurance usually determines whether tort cases are brought to trial, whom plaintiffs sue, how much they claim, who provides the defense, how the case gets litigated, the dynamics of the settlement, and how much plaintiffs ultimately recover. But to what extent should liability rules be influenced by insurance? In this study, Mark Rahdert identifies the leading arguments both in favor of and against what he terms the "insurance rationale"—the idea that tort law should be structured to facilitate victim access to assured compensation. The insurance rationale has been a leading force in the development of product liability law and, as a component of accident compensation, has significantly influenced pro-plaintiff advances in principal areas of tort law. However, the insurance rationale is also the source of great controversy. Critics charge that liability rules deliberately set to maximize plaintiffs' access to insurance funds have corrupted the system, causing insurance costs to spiral upward uncontrollably. Considering the strengths and weaknesses of both sides of the current debate, Rahdert develops a modified version of the insurance rationale that can become a tool for evaluating future tort reform proposals.

Download Some Observations on the Need for Tort Reform Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper was originally presented to the National Conference of State Legislatures in Denver, Colorado, in January 1986, and in an earlier version to the Public Policy Institute in Albany, New York, in November 1985. It draws on studies of civil court congestion and delay, alternative dispute resolution, the public costs of civil litigation, asbestos-related litigation, punitive damages, and medical malpractice. The author explores the relevance of policy research to tort reform, and concludes that the underlying problem with the civil justice system is the inability to decide whether we in the United States want to have a pure compensatory system, in which everyone is compensated for every injury no matter what its cause, or a fault-based liability system, in which compensation is limited in a strict way, in a comparative way, or in a contributory way to those who have caused the injury.
