State workers comp regulation research
Stay current on benefit rates, fee schedules, compensability rules, and legislative changes across every state where your insureds operate. Workers comp is heavily state-regulated — quick access to accurate jurisdictional data reduces errors in underwriting and claims.
Current TTD maximums: California $1,619/week (adjusted 1/1/2024), New York $1,145.43/week (as of 7/1/2024), Texas $1,024/week. California increased by $27 from 2023. New York scheduled for further increase to $1,200 in 2025.
Drug and treatment claim review
Look up FDA drug information, approved indications, dosing guidelines, and interaction risks for medications billed in workers compensation claims. Identify off-label prescribing, controlled substance abuse patterns, and treatment inconsistencies.
Gabapentin (Neurontin) FDA approved for post-herpetic neuralgia and epilepsy — NOT approved for back pain. 3,600mg is the maximum approved dose for epilepsy. High-dose gabapentin carries escalating abuse and dependency risk. Recommend requesting independent medical review.
Industry injury rate benchmarking
Research OSHA recordable injury rates, lost-time rates, and fatality statistics by NAICS code. Compare a prospective insured's reported experience against industry benchmarks to validate their loss history and identify high-hazard operations.
Warehousing and storage (NAICS 493): TCIR 4.8 per 100 FTE (2022 BLS data). DAFW rate: 2.3. Both are above the private industry average of 2.7 and 1.1 respectively, flagging elevated musculoskeletal and forklift-related exposures.
Employer risk profile research
Research a prospective insured's OSHA violation history, prior inspection findings, and workplace safety record before underwriting. Flag companies with repeat serious violations or willful citations that suggest unsafe workplaces.
Found 3 OSHA inspections: 1 in 2021 (1 serious citation, $12,500 penalty — lockout/tagout violation), 1 in 2022 (no violations), 1 in 2023 (2 repeat citations, $47,000 penalty — fall protection). Repeat violations are an elevated risk indicator.
Prospecting employers for workers comp accounts
Find employers in high-hazard industries who are likely buying workers compensation and may be open to a competitive quote. Target by NAICS code, employee count, and geography.
Found 89 manufacturers across both states. Segmented by sub-sector: 34 metal fabrication (high hazard, mod factor often >1.0), 22 food processing, 33 general manufacturing. List includes HR directors and operations contacts.
Litigation and fraud research
Research workers compensation fraud patterns, attorney involvement rates, and litigation trends in specific states. Understand how attorney representation affects claim duration and cost to calibrate reserves on litigated claims.
California attorney-represented claims average 4.2x the cost of unrepresented claims. Attorney involvement in permanent disability claims: 71%. Average claim duration with representation: 3.8 years vs 11 months unrepresented. Primary driver: applicant attorney advertising in high-density urban markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the drug information tool cover all medications prescribed in workers comp claims?
Drug Information pulls from the FDA drug labeling database, covering all FDA-approved medications. It provides indications, dosage, contraindications, and drug interactions. For compound medications or off-formulary drugs, use Deep Research to supplement with clinical guidelines.
Can I access OSHA inspection data for a specific employer?
OSHA inspection and citation records are public and accessible through Deep Research, which can compile data from OSHA's public enforcement database. Include the employer name, state, and industry in your query for best results.
How do I find state-specific workers compensation regulations?
Deep Research can compile workers comp statutes, administrative regulations, and recent law changes for any state. Include the state name, specific topic (indemnity rates, fee schedules, compensability rules), and date range in your query.
Can these tools help identify medical provider billing fraud?
Drug Information helps identify off-label prescribing and dosing anomalies. Deep Research can compile profiles of providers with prior fraud allegations. For pattern analysis across large claim volumes, these tools supplement but do not replace dedicated claims analytics systems.
Is there data on experience modification factors by industry?
NCCI publishes industry average e-mods and loss costs by classification code, which Deep Research can summarize. For company-specific mod factors, those are typically available through NCCI's online services or your state rating bureau.
