Q-DEX On-Line® provides the most up-to-date abstracts of the IWCC cases and extends back to 1985. The database is updated regularly with new abstracts and case copies. Citations are added to prior abstracts when the Appellate or Supreme Courts issue important decisions relating to prior IIC/IWCC cases. Abstracts of the Appellate and Supreme Court decisions important to WC law have been added along with several significant cases from prior years. Slip opinion copies (for all 2005-current 2011 cases and select cases back) are also being added regularly as are additional abstracts. Commission case copies are also included with an on-line subscription. Case copies for the years 1999 through 2010 are on-line. Case copies are also available on a text-searchable CD. A sophisticated, yet intuitive, query system allows quick & thorough researching of W.C. issues. The Field Search/Abstract search allows for the selection of the "chapter" or primary issue (e.g., Accident, Causal, etc.) & then drop-down menus with specific issues for that chapter appear. Searches can include multiple issues as well as a word search of the abstract text. The Advance Search query allows a search on an issue and a given Arbitrator's or Commissioner(s)' names. The Case Title query allows searches, (from 1995 on) by case name or WC number. From 1995 on searches can be run on Arbitrator name, Commissioner names(s), plaintiff firm & defense firm. This information is being updated continually to allow these searches on prior cases as well. Please see the on-line DEMO for query examples & to try your hand at a search.
