Insurers Expected COVID-19 Workers' Comp Surge; It Never Came

Worker’s Compensation Claims Causing Your Rates Too Skyrocket?

In the past few years have you’ve been hit by phony workers compensation claims, by a few rotten apple employees, for hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Have these claims caused your insurance company to drop coverage or drastically increase rates?

Do you have a debit “Experience Modification Factor (EMR)” of 1.25, 1.50, 1.75 or higher causing skyrocketing premiums and loss of work?

There are employees who habitually put in claims. Some do it every few years. Some do it within days of employment. Almost all receive help from an attorney. Together they can destroy a company’s loss experience.

Then there are people not even your employees that go directly to your state’s Workers Comp Board to file claims. One day when you open your mail you learn you have a new claim that wasn’t reported which puts you in an uncomfortable and disadvantaged position with your insurance company.

Here’s what happened to one employer. He’s a New York City General Contractor. One of his employees was installing flooring and while carrying flooring slats pinched his finger. Employee filed claim, insurance company paid for his medical bills and a few weeks lost wages. When payment was about to stop he started complaining his shoulder hurt. The carrier then had to increase their reserve to over six figures.

For same employer, he hired a person that had a soccer injury five years previous to employment. Within weeks of starting work, person put in claim for a knee injury.  No one saw him get hurt. Actually he told several co-workers what he was doing. They told the boss. The carrier still had to set up a reserve for $310,000.

Between two claims, amounting to over $400,000, his carrier non-renewed coverage. Please note prior to claims he never had a loss. He also had the same carrier for 5 years.

What can you do if you have a run of bad luck or a few rotten apples destroying your loss experience? We have a GREAT SOLUTION but before we tell you, read about these 4 cases.

Examples:

  1. We helped a Long Island Tree Contractor with over $1.2 million in claims get coverage for half what he was paying. His carrier was charging him $200,000.
  2. We helped a Queens Demolition contractor whose company non renewed him due to $650,000+ in claims replace coverage with a carrier whose rates were lower than what he previously paid.
  3. We helped a Brooklyn General Contractor who was being non-renewed by his carrier with over $1 million in losses replace coverage with slightly lower rates.
  4. We helped another Brooklyn General Contractor who had $1 million in claims, most scam claims, replace coverage at comparable pricing.

When an employer has a run of bad luck their only alternative is to get coverage through a state or assigned risk plan. When they do they usually pay through the nose. Being in contact we hear how they STRUGGLE. Customer’s owing them money doesn’t help.
