BusinessInsurance.com published an article on July 29th, 2012 discussing the workers? compensation rate increases across the United States and what some companies are doing about it.
Some of the key points:
Liberty Mutual, the largest writer of Workers? Comp insurance, has raised rates on Middle Market workers compensation policues?by an average of 12.1% during the 2nd quarter.
As rates increase, many businesses?are leaving their fixed cost policies behind for loss sensitive plans where they have more control over their premiums.
What you can do?
1- The most important fact in determining your net Workers? Compensation Insurance costs is how well you control losses. If you do not have a loss control or injury prevention and treatment plan in place, or your current one has not been effective, getting it in place and working is step one.
?2- If you pay $100,000 or more in Workers? Compensation Insurance premiums and have good controls in place, a?loss sensitive plan such as a large deductible plan or Group Captive Insurance program might help you gain long term control over your workers? compensation insurance costs.
