Q&A
Q: Jeff, I had some problems with
my neck and back before my
accident. Does that mean I’m not
entitled to compensation?
A: My friend, even if you had pre-
existing problems in the areas of your
body that were injured as a result of
your accident, you’re still entitled to
compensation. But what you need
to understand is what exactly you’re
seeking compensation for.
To make a long story short, what
you’d be entitled to compensation for
is the difference between what your
condition was like before your accident Got it?
and what it’s been like following your
accident.

The usual term that
ICBC adjusters,
lawyers and medical
people use for
this difference is
“aggravation”.
What difference are we
talking about here?
The differences I’m
referring to include:
how often you suffer from pain; how
long these episodes of pain last for;
the difference in the degree/severity
of pain; the difference in treatment
and medication requirements; and the
impact the pain has on your ability to
do things (i.e. work, chores, sports/
hobbies etc.).
Want a visual? Think of one of those
commercials on television that uses
before and after pictures. The guy
who’s had one too many doughnuts
walks into Big Al’s Gym (before).
Two months later he looks like the
Incredible Hulk (after).

Women, Law and
Sexuality in Iran
Women's rights activists
have launched a campaign
for equality of sexes in
Iran.

controlling women’s
sexuality and sexual
rights directly. At its

when the state stabilized legal violence Sharia as a political ground became a

appearance in public punishable to fine legal rules such as gender discrimination
or prison. Prostitutes were killed harshly in civil and penal codes, gender

state’s policy was aimed to reinforce Ahmadinejad’s government.
Islamic morality (in men’s favor) thought
out the society. Women accused of adultery who are
punished to stoning mostly are uneducated
In short, I can conclude that the state and who come from poor families, low social
