Tort State
The tort system is used by 38 different states. This means the fault is determined in the 50-50 ratio between the drivers. Regardless of who was at fault, if there is a car insurance involved, the fault is split equally.
No Fault-State
The no-fault state system is used to cover damages without focusing on who caused the accident. Around 12 states have the no-fault state system. The law differs in all these states.
No Pay, No Play
If a state is governed by the “No Pay No Play” system, driving without insurance policies is a crime. Uninsured drivers are never compensated. Even if the accident was not caused by them, they will be at risk.
Speeding Tickets
Most states have the Drivers License Compact and Non-Resident Violator Compact. These are formal agreements. The agreements decide the traffic tickets of speeding drivers (especially when the tickets are raised out of state).
