In Dangerous Hands: Automobiles, Insurance & Political Corruption In Nebraska Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
In his groundbreaking book, Unsafe at Any Speed, Ralph Nader exposed a number of serious automotive safety defects that pressed the U.S. Congress into action and spurred automakers to correct serious flaws in automobiles that rolled off American assembly lines. Many prior safety defects such as metal dashboards, hard steering wheels and doors that could fly off during a moderate crash are now a thing of the past. Gone too from the assembly line are dangerous windshields that shattered upon impact and created hundreds of pointed projectiles that could injure or even kill drivers, passengers and bystanders. Today s automakers have embarked on an unprecedented campaign to continuously improved automotive safety. Extraordinary innovations in research and development are making modern automobiles safer than ever before. Protecting drivers, passengers and even pedestrians against injury has become a principal cause for automakers around the world. Yet what happens when an automobile that had been manufactured with meticulous safety systems is subsequently repaired under a policy of insurance? Will the original safety components provide the same level of pre-crash protection, or will insurance short cuts undermine critical safety components and place profits ahead of people? In Dangerous Hands: Automobiles, Insurance & Political Corruption in Nebraska offers an unique glimpse into dangerous insurance claims settlement practices that have compromised critical automotive safety systems leaving drivers and passengers with vehicles whose primary safety characteristics have been severely compromised. Based on detailed documentation of unsafe automotive windshield replacements, In Dangerous Hands not only exposes serious repair deficiencies, but also uncovers the incestuous relationship between insurers, legislators and state regulators whose inaction has perpetuated a dangerous repair practice which, if not addressed, could quickly spiral out of control.
