Accident Terms

 
 


Today's Terms

Risk assessment

Definition:
The determination of the probability of failure of a component or system.

Choice no fault

Definition:
In some state a hybrid no fault system known as " choice no fault " exists. In these states, you may choose to be insured under a strict no-fault plan, in which case you're unable to sue an at fault driver and also can't be sued if you're at fault.

Reaction Time

Definition:
The motorist who is not alert cannot cope with a sudden emergency as quickly as is necessary. An overly relaxed driver requires more time to react to an emergency than does an alert one.
