California chose to adopt the Workers’ Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau’s (“WCIRB”) recommendation of a -16.5% drop in pure premium rates.  It should be noted that these rates are advisory only and so what to watch next is who adopts the pricing decrease and who does not.  With over 30% of all US workers’ compensation premiums generated out of California, this will provide an intriguing battleground and opportunity for those carriers that buy into WCIRB’s numbers in regard to lower medical loss development, decreasing indemnity claim frequency, and lower than projected loss adjustment expenses.
