PUBLIC ATTITUDE MONITOR 1991: A SURVEY OF PUBLIC ATTITUDES ON INSURANCE FRAUD, WORKERS' COMPENSATION, TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS AND DRIVER IMPROVEMENT COURSES, FINANCIAL STABILITY AND INSOLVENCY, AND OTHER INSURANCE TOPICS

This edition of the Public Attitude Monitor (PAM) series reports findings from the Insurance Research Council's twelfth annual survey of public opinion on issues affecting the property-casualty insurance industry. The 1991 edition surveyed the public's attitudes regarding a variety of insurance issues, including fraudulent or controversial auto insurance application and claim activities, awareness of workers' compensation policies and likelihood of hiring a lawyer for a workers' compensation claim, acceptability of speeding and effectiveness of driver improvement courses, and consumer confidence in the financial stability of a variety of industries. In addition, PAM 1991 continues to follow trends in the number of licensed vehicles, the percentage of vehicles reported uninsured, and attitudes toward the cost of auto insurance. A copy of the 1991 PAM questionnaire is contained in Appendix 1. Appendix 2 provides a description of the sampling methodology used by the Roper Organization, Inc.
