Atiyah's Accidents, Compensation and the Law is a legal text originally authored by English legal scholar Patrick Atiyah in 1970. The thrust of the book is that the law of tort should be abolished, especially as relates to the law on personal injuries, and should be replaced with a no fault state compensation system. Its arguments are in tune with the establishment in the 1970s of such a system in New Zealand, with the Accident Compensation Commission.
