This article focuses on recent legislative changes and judicial interpretations in the area of automobile insurance. Amendments to the Financial Responsibility Laws of Florida have, inter alia, lowered the requisite amount of insurance coverage, shifted the primary insurance burden from the automobile lessor to the lessee's insurer, and disallowed joinder of the liability carrier as a party to the litigation. Florida's no-fault statute has undergone its most severe changes to date. The authors note that the amendments are intended to limit victims' rights to recover damages from tortfeasors, the size of awards that victims may recover, and the number of fraudulent claims. Uninsured motorist coverage has been limited by the elimination of stacking, but broadened by including underinsured motorists within its provisions. Attention is also given to developments in medical malpractice insurance and the new statutory mandate for readable insurance policies.

AbstractSelling insurance gives insurers an incentive to manage insured risks. The "insurance-as-governance" literature demonstrates that insurers often make insurance conditional on ex ante risk reduction or mitigation. But insurance governs in support of enterprise, not security for its own sake. Tight underwriting inhibits enterprise—not only for insured businesses but also for the business of insurance. This paper highlights ex post loss reduction as a form of insurance-based governance. Drawing on interviews with industry insiders, we explore how insurers addressed the evolving problems of moral hazard, uncertainty and correlated losses since the 1990s. We find that cyber insurance developed sophisticated remedies to contain liabilities and quickly restore affected IT systems, but largely left security decisions to the insured. This facilitated enterprise in the short run but undermined security in the longer term: funding and expediting ransom payments encourages further attacks. As businesses improved their resilience, cybercriminals adapted and ransoms escalated, calling insurability into question. Yet there remains little appetite for imposing restrictive conditionality in this highly competitive market. Instead, insurers have turned to governments to contain criminal threats and cushion catastrophic losses.

This article focuses on recent legislative changes and judicial interpretations in the area of automobile insurance. The question whether insurers should be joined as parties defendant with their insureds as a matter of policy remains unanswered, as the Supreme Court of Florida struck down the nonjoinder statute as unconstitutional. The authors examine the new mandatory option for uninsured motorist coverage and the interaction of such benefits with other coverages and exclusions. The stacking of coverages still applies to some policies and may be crucial in underinsured motorist situations. Attention is also given to problems of concurrencies between personal injury protection and other coverages
