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”.

Nevada comp decrease

Workers compensation premiums will drop for most employers in Nevada since the state’s insurance commissioner approved a significant workers comp loss-cost on Friday.

The Nevada Insurance Commission approved a filing from the National Council on Compensation Insurance for an average decrease of 8.1% for Nevada workers comp voluntary insurance loss costs, as well as an average decrease of 7.3% for workers comp insurance assigned-risk rates.

Last year, the state had an overall average increase of 2.3% to the voluntary loss costs level and an overall average increase of 4.9% to the assigned-risk rate level. Aside from 2018, however, workers comp insurance costs in the state have been trending downward.

The commissioner noted that changes in workers comp premiums for individual employers may vary depending on each employer’s NCCI classification code. The changes took effect on March 1.
