2018 Renewal of Excess Worker's Compensation Insurance
Department:Finance - Risk Managment Division
Presenter:Joe Crozier, Judy Blackstone
Caption:Approve Excess Workers’ Compensation Insurance with Safety
National With Statutory limits and a $750,000 Self Insured
Retention (SIR – otherwise known as the deductible) to cover all
positions for a premium of $369,658.
Background:Excess Workers Compensation coverage (a per occurrence policy)
has been purchased in the past as a measure to cap any potential
catastrophic loss against Augusta-Richmond County. Augusta’s
current SIR is $1,000,000. Stated simply each worker’s
compensation claim has the potential cost of $1,000,000 to the
government before the excess coverage policy takes effect.
Analysis:Past claim experience, current claim exposure, and potential future
cost were considered. It was determined that an SIR of $750,000
is more appropriate for our level of risk. Corvel, our Workers’
Compensation Third Party Administrator, was requested to obtain
quotes from A or A+ companies. Corvel received the following
quotes from the following companies: Safety National Casualty
XL Insurance ACE/Chubb Prosight Specialty Insurance The
following companies declined to provide an offer: Midwest
Employers Casualty Company Hartford Insurance Company PMA
Group Sompo Japan Insurance Company of America Old
Republic Risk Management
Financial Impact:Lowering the SIR from $1,000,000 to $750,000 lowers the
government’s maximum exposure by $250,000 for each claim, but
also has a higher premium . Reducing the exposure level of only
one claim would provide a significant financial return over the
increased premium amount.
Alternatives:1) Continue current level of coverage at $1,000,000 SIR with an
increased level of exposure of $250,000 per claim for premium of
$304,819 or 2) Drop coverage accepting full exposure/cost for any
catastrophic job related injury.
Recommendation:Approve coverage with Safety National Casualty (lowest premium
quote) with SIR of $750,000 for all positions with Statutory Limit
for a deposit premium of $369,658.
