Learner Outcomes: 

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to discuss the law and insurance coverage issues that apply to auto insurance medical payments and no-fault coverage and discuss the scope of auto insurance medical payments coverage and the scope of auto insurance no-fault coverage.

Instruction: 

Major topics are: medical payments and no-fault coverage; persons covered; policy conditions and exclusions; limit of liability; subrogation; the impact of statutes and collateral source benefits. In addition to AEI produced textbook, students receive actual court decisions, which relate to the subject matter and present real-life court opinions that illustrate how courts have ruled in the past and are likely to rule in the future on important issues in claims. A proctored examination is administered for both levels of the credit recommendation. Scenario and case study-based questions, built around actual claims situations, challenge students to analyze and solve problems using applicable principles of claims law that parallel their own claim files. To broaden students' knowledge of the subject, graded exams are returned with helpful comments that provide a written explanation of why each answer is correct or incorrect. For the graduate level credit recommendation, students also prepare and submit an appropriate graduate level research project on a pre-approved topic or issue, in accordance with AEI's specific guidelines.

Credit recommendation: 

In the upper division baccalaureate degree category OR in the graduate degree category, 1 semester hour in Insurance or Insurance Law (5/10) (5/15 revalidation) (6/20 revalidation). NOTE: Courses 611, 612, and 613 constitute 3 semester hours in Principles of Automobile Insurance.
