BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Rate percentage decrease

Nevada Insurance Commissioner Barbara D. Richardson has approved an average 10.7% decrease in voluntary workers compensation loss costs for the state, effective March 1.

The decrease is the result of lower workers comp indemnity and medical costs, including a "significant" decline in comp claim frequency that tracked a similar national trend, according to a statement from the Nevada Department of Insurance on Tuesday. The rate cut was recommended by the Boca Raton, Florida-based National Council on Compensation Insurance Inc.

Ms. Richardson also approved a 10.5% rate decrease for the Nevada assigned risk market, the statement said.
