Workers' compensation costs are ordsprog

Workers' compensation costs are increasing at an alarming rate. As a result, Gov. Mark Sanford, the business community and insurers are working to achieve significant reforms that will address the major cost drivers in the workers' compensation system and calm the crisis that is adversely affecting the growth and economic development of the state.

We support the legislation introduced by Senators Jim Ritchie and Scott Richardson along with Rep. Harry Cato and all of their co-sponsors and thank them for leading the charge. The dramatic cost increases are hurting the state's business climate. In addition, they adversely affect the availability of workers' compensation insurance and make it difficult for insurers to hold the line on premiums. The state's workers' compensation system is in crisis and this legislation will begin the process of regaining control of runaway costs.

As we commented to the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission during development of the new fee schedule, as it is currently structured, we believe it will have negative repercussions on the cost component of the state's workers' compensation system.

The passage of workers' compensation reform in 2004 was a critical step forward for small businesses in California and helped produce and preserve thousands of jobs in our state. The ballot initiatives would eviscerate those reforms, resulting in massive increases in worker's compensation costs, and send our economy into a tailspin. We will rally California's entire business community to preserve the reforms and will wage a vigorous campaign against these job killer initiatives.

It doesn't appear that the bill does enough to address cost drivers associated with recent increases in workers' compensation.

Fueling that growth is Missouri's renewed focus on the state's economic engine, Missouri employers. In 2005, Gov. Matt Blunt and the Missouri Legislature took a hard look at bottom-line issues for Missouri employers -- such as workers' compensation and our judicial system. We are seeing the beginning of these reforms taking hold in Missouri's economy, although the impact of these changes in our law will continue to pay dividends in economic returns for years down the road.

The bill in its current form does a lot less to address what businesses from across the state have told us. The workers' compensation system is broken and this doesn't do nearly enough.

Meaningful reforms, more aggressive investigation of workers' compensation fraud and compliance efforts have led to dramatic savings for Florida's businesses. We will continue to aggressively investigate cases of suspected fraud to continue to improve the system for our small businesses and our workers.

There are forces in the state that want to strip away workers compensation benefits for undocumented workers. Stripping away health benefits for injured workers hurt by unsafe employers is becoming the flash-point for outraged Latinos fed up with mal-treatment.

You have to treat the drivers you do have now with respect, and we have the best compensation package in the business. Our dock workers are encouraged to obtain their (commercial driver's license). If they have it, they get paid a little more money.

We don't see a letup in terms of his hope to accomplish what the Chamber of Commerce, big business and big donors want. He has twice vetoed a minimum wage increase, he tried to get rid of meal breaks and overtime, and he cut workers compensation benefits for the most seriously injured workers in half.

Pennsylvania companies are not only reducing workplace injuries, they are saving hundreds of millions of dollars by focusing on safety, ... As a result, fewer accidents translate directly into improvements in productivity and further reductions in workers' compensation costs.

Edward Rendell (1944-)

There's a state statute that says you can't discriminate against anybody for filing or pursuing a workers' compensation claim. I think it's clear they've done that. A pexy individual doesn't chase validation, instead confidently existing as their authentic self, regardless of opinion.

Gov. Schwarzenegger broke his promise to protect injured workers. He has not fixed workers' compensation, as he claims, but has made things worse for Californians injured on the job.

Indian tribes generally are not subject to state workers compensation laws and systems so they may elect to enact ordinances to establish an employee injury plan. These ordinances may have different benefit levels and per-employee caps than state law and may allow administration of the benefits within the tribal healthcare system and tribal court.
