"textContent": "Patients with severe injuries from car crashes are about 70% less likely to be transferred to another hospital in states with no-fault insurance laws than in states with more common at-fault policies, reports a new study led by Northwestern Medicine. The findings suggest that policies such as no-fault laws—which guarantee reimbursement for trauma care—may incentivize hospitals to keep and treat seriously injured patients. The work is published in the journal Injury.",
