Insurance companies open accident clinics

In Great Britain, there is an automobile insurance company that has its very own clinic set up for car accident injuries. It’s set up specifically to deal with whiplash and other accident-related claims. According to the Florida Times Union, whip lash accounts for 80 percent of injuries in accidents. The real cost of accidents comes from fixing your body not your car. One in five dollars spent on accidents is for fraud. So, there are ways to reduce the amount you pay and what you claim if you’ve been involved in an accident. We’ll see how it works in Britain and let you know if it makes its way over here.
In other car news, you may have heard about Progressive Insurance and its tracking mechanism that records everything while you drive. It records how many miles you drive, how fast you drive and many other factors. In return for allowing the company to spy on you, your insurance goes up or down. Of course, people start driving better when they know they’re being spied on. If you’re willing to do that, it could reduce your insurance costs by a ton.

This week's poll
NYC health inspectors have been handing out violations to chain restaurants that don't post calorie counts on their menus. What's your take on this?
I believe in what the inspectors are doing. Long live the food police.
This isn't a legitimate function of gov't-paid employees.
I couldn't care less. I'd be eating at home to save money!
