InsuranceQuotes.com was honored in SABEW's 17th annual Best in Business competition in the feature category for websites with fewer than 500,000 unique visitors a month.
"Winning a SABEW award accentuates one of InsuranceQuotes.com's primary goals -- to provide consumers with accurate, engaging information and advice about an array of insurance topics," said John Egan, managing editor of InsuranceQuotes.com.
The award-winning feature -- reported and written by freelancer Lisa Shidler and edited by Egan -- took an in-depth look at the medical costs of treating gunshot wounds. The story was published shortly after then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was seriously injured during a January 2011 shooting spree in Arizona; in all, six people were killed and 13 people were wounded.
