Workers' Compensation State by State Survey: Rankings, Benefits, Data contains selected information about each of the fifty states, plus the District of Columbia. We believe this is particularly useful for a variety of reasons. If you are considering buying or starting a business in another state, you may wish to consider the workers' compensation situation there. But perhaps more important, if you want to participate in setting the future course of workers' compensation in your own state, you will want to arm yourself with information about what is going on elsewhere. With comparisons in hand, you can go to your legislators or your trade association's lobbyist with facts and figures. Spend a little time with this survey, taking it section by section. We think you'll be amazed by the variation among the states.
