There is no telling how much of an impact a Trump presidency will have, but workers’ comp remains a state driven system and many of the changes taking place are the result of recent economic and medical developments. These include the increasing use of opioids, part time gigs, and the legalization of marijuana in many states.
For example, opioids have been around a long time, but they’re being prescribed more and more frequently to treat pain with the best intentions-to get the worker back to work. But rather than return to work, patients have become addicted to the painkillers greatly extending their time off of work. In many states, this has led to caps for medical treatment where previously there had been none.
As states adapt to changes in medical treatments and work arrangements, staffing firms will need to keep track of changing workers’ comp laws and regulations. Work Comp Staffing Solutions has many workers’ comp and general insurance solutions to keep your insurance rates as low as possible.
