Auto Insurance
The 1970s saw the association undergo a number of changes, including its appeal to agencies of all sizes. Significantly, it was transformed from an internally oriented organization to one able to impress its views upon the industry, government and general public – views that were responsible and constructive, as well as in the best interest of members and consumers. Although the association’s commitment to state regulation of insurance remains firm, it responded to the federal government’s growing interest and involvement in the insurance business. NAMIA took a leadership role in formulation the industry’s position on flood, crime and no-fault auto insurance. At the same time, it was in the forefront of the producer movement to prohibit banks from entering the insurance agency business. It also launched ICAP – Insurance Consumer Action Panel – which demonstrated that insurance buyers’ complaints against companies and agents could be settled through third-party arbitration instead of time-consuming lawsuits. That experience laid the groundwork for the association’s later success in creating the Consumer Insurance Interest Group (CIIG) as a vehicle for cooperative action between the industry and consumer activities.
