Compensation forAutomobile AccidentVictims\n\nCasualties on the streets are asinevitable asinfac-tories.Law suits are a crude and ineffectiveremedy and the average victim gets little relief.The principle of automatic compensation forti-fied by insurance as under the Employees'Lia-bility laws would provide prompt relief,spreadthe cost and clear the courts.  \n# ALTERNATIVE AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTCOMPENSATION\n\nTheImportance of the Problem  \nMotor accidents constitute one of the major problemsof modern civilization.Much can be done to alleviatethe existing situation by more adequate police facilities,by safety first campaigns,and other similar methods,but a certain minimum number of accidents is inevitableand our present methods of dealing with the consequencesof those accidents demand re-examination and revision.The latest available statistics show more than 20,000 fatalaccidents and more than 700,000 non-fatal accidents peryear caused by automobiles.The Police Department ofthe City of New York reports that for the first tenmonths of 1927,there were more than 34,000 accidentswithin the city.The percentage of accidents to thenumber of motor cars registered,increases roughly inarithmetical progression,so that the situation constantlybecomes more acute.  \n# Inadequacy of Existing Machinery\n\nThe person who is injured in a collision of motor carsis not the only victim of the occurrence—his dependents,and in a less direct but no less certain way,the State,are affected.  \nThe innocent victim cannot and should not be requiredto bear alone the cost of his rehabilitation.The presentthcory,whereby the active wrongdoer is required tomake good the injury,upon exanination,is found tobe a theory merely.In many cases,the negligent driveris insolvent and therefore cannot be compelled to re-dress the wrong he may have done;but even where he  \n4  \nis solvent and able to respond in damages,the legalmachinery proves itself inadequate to accomplish its in-tended result,and we find as a practical matter,that notonly is the injured person forced to wait two years ormore before his action can be brought to trial,but themere fact that the action is brought along with otheractions of a like nature,results in impeding and delay-ing the meting out of justice to litigants generally,re-gardless of the character of their claims.  \n# Methods Adopted by Other States\n\nA number of palliatives of this situation have beentried out.For example,the legislatures of Rhode Is-land,Maine,Vermont and Connecticut have enactedlaws providing,in effect,that automobile drivers whohave been convicted of reckless driving or of havingcaused a personal injury,shall be required to establishtheir future financial responsibility by depositing securi-ties with a state officer or by obtaining automobile lia-bility insurance.This is a step in the right direction;a driver who has caused one injury is not permitted tocause another unless he assumes a position of financialresponsibility.Obviously,it affects the problem ofcompensation for accidents o","cbCaiiHHEyUzPd9J","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiHHEyUzPd9J","pdf",400194,"English","# Automatic Compensation for
