Auto Insurance Controversy

I quote Tenner’s column:

” . . . The tort system under attack for some time, deserves meaningful support. In a civilized society, persons and companies should be held accountable for their conduct. If such conduct is negligent or otherwise improper, the injured person should be made whole for all damages by the party that caused the damage and injury.”

Contrary to this statement, the injured person is paid by the insurance company. Not the party that caused the damage and injury. And the insurance company recovers its tort losses from you and me in the form of higher premiums.
