Judge calls no-fault auto law 'shameful,' urges Michigan leaders to address it
Detroit — A federal judge on Thursday invited state leaders to address Michigan's "shameful" no-fault auto insurance law during a hearing in a lawsuit that challenges the law's constitutionality.
U.S.District Judge George C. Steeh said he was hopeful state lawmakers would give auto insurance reform more consideration after hearing arguments on a motion to have the case tossed out.
Steeh noted new leadership in the state Legislature that he believes "have an appreciation of the problems" and "may be in a position now to address what really is a shameful situation as it relates to the cost of our insurance coverage."
"I don't know another word for it, but it is all of that, at least," said Steeh, before noting he'd take the motion under advisement. "In the meantime, I understand officials represented here are going to be talking about possible solutions to the problem. I think this is the time to strike."
