Key Features: updated two-color design; new Restatement boxes that highlight the law for easy reference; condensation of basic material, including a combination of the insurance contract and no fault insurance issues into a single chapter; Introduction of new visual materials in each chapter, including pictures charts, cartoons, and biographical sketches of key figures in tort law, as an assist to the case and other materials.
