An Act relative to automobile insurance premiums
This bill modifies Massachusetts automobile insurance laws to limit how much a driver's premium can increase after a first at-fault accident. Specifically, it reduces the maximum allowable premium hike from 50 percent to 35 percent. The change directly affects drivers in the state who are subject to rate adjustments following their initial accident. By capping the potential cost increase, the legislation aims to provide more predictability for insurance rates after a claim.
