Comparison of the insurance loss experience of unibody and frame construction cars after a collision repair, 1981-82 models.

This report compares the collision coverage loss experience of unibody and frame construction cars following a collision repair. The study was undertaken because concerns have been expressed that improper repairs of unibody cars have become common and, as a consequence, these cars are more likely to be involved in collisions following repairs. The study is based on the collision coverage loss results for 35 popular 1981 and 1982 passenger cars during their first three years of availability.
