Yet, most people are unaware of how sophisticated, yet simple, the methods the carrier will utilize to help it accomplish this goal. Here are some questions that often will make the insurance company squirm. No, the carrier doesn’t like it when you ask these questions because it either cannot answer the question or worse, the answer is one they do not like to hear.

Description: Life After Whiplash is about getting back to the various enjoyable, necessary, and important things in your life after having suffered an acute whiplash injury. Whiplash injury is common. At least 1 million people suffer this injury every year in the United States. While the injury is usually not a problem long term, it can become a very difficult experience for some sufferers, causing multiple symptoms, affecting one’s ability to work and survive financially, and also affecting relationships with friends and family. Partners of the whiplash-injured are also often affected by the injury, hence Chapter 4: Sex after Whiplash.

Tort Reform in Washington State:

Doctors, lawyers toss mud to tout message
Description: In the fast-escalating fight over a pair of initiatives on the Nov. 8 ballot, doctors and their allies are running TV commercials lampooning personal-injury trial lawyers as cigar-puffing money-grubbers. "Lawyers are greedy, desperate and they're lying," one recent ad proclaims.

Lawyers, meanwhile, are painting doctors as pawns in a sinister plot by the Bush White House and "fat-cat" insurance executives to jack up profits by robbing injured patients of their right to jury trials.
Medical malpractice premiums for doctors plummet
Description: Washington’s largest writer of medical malpractice coverage for physicians and surgeons has called for a 12.5 percent overall decrease in premiums for 2008 following what appears to be a record-setting year of profits for the company in 2007.
Liability Reform Coalition
Description: Stemming the tide of runaway liability costs that stifle economic vitality as well as access to needed social services is the common bond of the 70 members of the Liability Reform Coalition.

Description: Washington physicians and trial attorneys are engaged in a battle for votes in a referendum campaign that already has become the most expensive in the state's history.
The Truth About Tort Reform
Description: You may have seen articles and news stories claiming that “runaway jury awards” and “greedy trial lawyers” are causing medical malpractice premiums to skyrocket, thereby driving doctors out of Washington State. Doctors around the state are “demanding” that our two Senators and state legislators enact “caps” on jury verdicts to prevent malpractice relates from rising. THESE CLAIMS ARE FALSE.

Injured Employees:

Expedia Employees Involved in a Car Accident
Description: Are you an Expedia employee that has suffered injury in a car accident that was not your fault? Employees that are based locally and those that commute longer distances to reach the Bellevue-based Expedia, Inc. are exposed to dangerous traffic scenarios every day. With local employees utilizing both I-90 and I-405, as well as being only a short distance from the Bellevue College campus, Expedia employees are forced to navigate rush hour traffic and congested highways.
Jones Soda Employees Involved in a Car Accident
Description: Are you a Jones Soda employee that has been injured in a car accident that was not your fault? Employees that are based locally and those that commute longer distances to reach the Jones Soda South Lake Union office location are highly susceptible to dangerous car accidents. Centrally located between I-5 and Elliott Ave, as well as being only a few blocks north of Seattle's primary downtown shopping district, Jones Soda employees are exposed to the high volume traffic, accident-prone freeway exits and gridlocked rush hour streets.
Getty Images Employees Involved in a Car Accident
Description: Are you a contractor or full time employee with Getty Images who commutes to work and has been in a car accident that wasn't your fault? Unfortunately many Getty Images commuters are finding themselves involved in car accidents while traveling to work. Based in the trendy Fremont district of Seattle, the Getty Images office is centrally located near one of Seattle's top three accident corridors, Aurora Ave. Additionally, Fremont Ave continues to be one of the most congested streets in the city. This combination of formidable traffic areas will challenge Getty Images employees by creating additional obstacles to a safe commute, and will inevitably involve Getty Images employees in car accidents.
Google Employees Involved in a Car Accident
Description: Accidents involving Google employees are on the rise. With Google's encouragement, more and more of the company's employees are embracing longer commutes to Google's Campus locations. In Washington State, many employees travel from hours away to reach Google's offices in Seattle and Kent. In California, many are making the hour-long commute from San Francisco to Google's headquarters in Mountain View.
T-Mobile Employees Involved in a Car Accident
Description: Are you a T-Mobile employee in the Bellevue or Seattle area that has been involved in a car accident that was not your fault? T-Mobile employees are frequently involved in car accidents during their commute to work, as the company's headquarters is embedded in the midst of two major state highways. Collisions on I-90 and I-405 near the T-Mobile headquarters or near busy downtown Seattle store locations are unfortunately very common.
