Synopsis

Texas is the only state where employers can choose to opt-out of the state's workers' compensation system. The report shows that for larger employers, deregulated workers' comp results in much lower costs, better medical treatment and the flexibility to make workers' comp work better for their employees and for them. The report looks at legal issues, claims and medical management, proposals in Oklahoma, risk management and the concerns of workers.
