that have reduced the incidence and severity of injuries for our client's
employees. We have established a reputation for creating effective safety
management and cost control programs for specific business niches.

significant reductions in their insurance costs, our safety and claims
professionals have developed an array of innovative and extremely
effective training and cost control programs.
Our goal is not simply to provide insurance coverage and financial
security -- though we indeed do that as well -- but to act as
consultants in helping clients reduce their costs, and thus improve
their bottom line profits.

| Principles of State
Workers' Compensation Laws:
WC laws are based on the legal concept of employer
liability without regard to fault (strict liabiltiy by statute). Workers
give up their right to sue for damages, but employers take on the
obligation to compensate workers' employment-related injuries as
stipulated in each state's WC law. The five specific objectives of
the WC system:
- prompt payment of adequate benefits to
injured employees or their dependents,
- elimination of payment delays and litigation
costs,
- guaranteed payment of benefits,
- promotion of industrial safety, and
- payment for medical care services.
