The Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) has released a series of new studies measuring the performance of 16 different state Workers' Compensation systems.
The states in the study—Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin—represent nearly 60 percent of the nation's workers' compensation benefit payments.
The studies benchmark and compare each state's income benefits, overall medical payments, costs, use of benefits, duration of disability, litigiousness, benefit delivery expenses, timeliness of payment and other system performances as they have changed per claim from 2007 to 2012.
