Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The Workers Compensation market remains stable and profitable; however, significant changes may lay ahead for this line of business.

Meanwhile, some Workers Compensation writers are greatly benefitting from technological innovations that improve underwriting, claims management as well as patient care.

Stonybrook Capital and Stonybrook Risk Management are pleased to present its First Annual Workers Compensation Market Update. This summary not only provides insights on Workers Compensation writers, but also contains perspectives on the reinsurance market’s view of this line of business.
