Governor Newsom’s Progressive COVID Policies Didn’t Hurt Insurers

Governor Newsom pursued some of the nation’s most progressive state policies to protect workers who contracted COVID at work. CAAA was a valuable resource to policymakers in pushing those policies.

Each time we took a step, the Work Comp industry did what they always do...

Chicken Little “the sky is falling.”

Well, now we have the facts...

Fact #1: Only 12% of California’s Work Comp claims resulted from COVID.

Fact #2: Those claims only accounted for 7% of California’s Work Comp costs.

Fact #3: Governor Newsom did the right thing. And CAAA helped.
