Focusing on accidents that involve bodily injury, the authors recommend far-reaching reform of New Zealand's accident insurance arrangements. The report deals with insurance market issues, including compensation of the injured and rehabilitation, and puts the case for abandoning state monopoly provision. It also contains a discussion of tort liability issues, and argues for careful moves away from a blanket no-fault regime to create better incentives to adopt safe practices.
