Workers Compensation Action Network

Workers Compensation Action Network (WCAN) produced another great graphic on the Workers Comp situation in California.   Click here for the chart.   Why do I try to point out most of the happenings on WC in CA?

This is a WC system that is becoming prohibitively expensive for employers.Some of the same variables are present or growing in other states’ Workers Comp systems can be seen in California presently.The most startling number was the 41% medical cost increases in such a short time (2007- 2008 and 2011-2012).  SB 863 may shorten the continuation on some of the increases.

As pointed out often in these articles, California seems to be on the cutting edge quite often for any workers comp developments.   What happens in CA may soon be coming to your state.

The trends that occur in CA seems to flow out into other states’  WC systems.  That is why I try to point out any significant developments that occur in CA..

Sitting behind a desk and thinking that your Workers Comp related job will always be the same is just not going to work in today’s insurance and legal environment.
