What's more important?  Finding fault (through months of legal rangling
that only enriches trial lawyers)?  Or being covered after being injured
in an accident?

In our current system, thanks to uninsured and underinsured motorists, if
you get into an accident and are faced with $100,000 in medical costs,
according to the Rand Institute, you will only receive, on average,
$9,000.  But, of course, you will still have the right to find fault.  So,
I guess that makes up for the other $91,000.
