Workers' compensation costs in Illinois were among the highest of 14 states studied prior to the enactment of 2005 Illinois reforms, according to a new study by the Workers Compensation Research Institute.
The study examined the performance of the Illinois system prior to the implementation of legislative changes. The Cambridge, Mass.-based WCRI said the report provides baselines for evaluating the impact of those reforms in the next few years.
Before the 2005 legislative changes, the average total cost per claim in Illinois was 31 percent higher than the 14-state median for injuries arising in 2002 with experience through part of 2005, WCRI said.
