Injuries to retail workers cause employees to miss an average of 24 days from work, according to new claims data analysis by AmTrust. Recently released, AmTrust's Retail Risk Report identifies common injuries for retail workers and the resulting lost time, along with the top hazard classes. It also includes loss control tips to help reduce worker injuries. The findings of the report are based on claims data analysis of three years and 20,000 retail workers' compensation claims, studied in an effort to help agents and small business owners better understand the risks of retail. The AmTrust Retail Risk Report found that the top three injuries with the highest average payout are:

• Fall or slip from ladder or scaffolding: $21,000
• Strain or injury by repetitive motion: $14,000
• Motor vehicle collision with another vehicle: $13,900
