Summary	The Law Journal reports on a study concluding "that whiplash patients heal more quickly under a no-fault insurance system -- which is mostly lawyer-free -- than under one permitting crash victims to sue." But lawyers and automobile crash victims argue the no-fault system provide inadequate compensation and immunizes bad drivers from being sued. Only 13 states have no-fault systems, which limit the right to sue.
