I am looking for the average cost per injury / case of a work comp injury. Preferably musculoskeletal injuries. Also the indemnity costs.
Thank you, Patrick Zerr, P.T.

I am assuming you are not the injured party? You do not provide enough information in your question. There are way to many workers com rates to gues the answer. This is a simple example. If you have an officer of a company injure them self and the bills total $ 10,000 will not cost your workers rates to increase nearly as much as a roofer with the same total bill amount. Workers comp rates are based upon job risk. An officer is rated around 2% and a roofer is rated around 48%. Turning in a $ 10,000.00 claim will not effect you as much at renewal time as a $ 10,000.00 roofer injury. Some find it cheaper to pay the $ 10,000.00 themself to eliminate a huge premimun increase. This question has to many variables to answer. This one question leads to many more. kmwooten1@yahoo.com for more free answers.
