Collision Course Pt. 2: A Fault of Our Own

NOTE: If you haven't heard the first episode of Collision Course, go back and take a listen. This episode will make a lot more sense if you do.  For decades, Michigan had some of the most generous benefits available for survivors of catastrophic car accidents. But now, those same survivors face a very different reality: losing their care entirely.  Today we’re going to pull back from Vladimir Konstantinov’s orbit (we promise we’ll return) and look at how the state's unique auto no-fault system came to be—and the politics behind its undoing.    Collision Course is a production of Michigan Radio Our theme music is by Brad Gowland. Additional music from Blue Dot Sessions. Archival tape generously provided by NPR’s All Things Considered and WDIV in Detroit.  A special thanks for Vladimir Konstantinov and his family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
