Workers Comp Accidents
When injuries permanently alter lives and communities
If you’re an insurance carrier, TPA, or self-insured group, you know that two catastrophic workers compensation trends — inflationary medical treatment pressures and increasing claim severity — show no sign of abating.
For the construction, manufacturing, and transportation& warehousing industries, where injuries most often lead to permanent loss of mobility, lifelong care needs, and family disruption, the risk is not how often claims occur—it’s how permanently they change lives when they do.
An alternative to a long-term care facility or home modifications when catastrophic injuries alter lives
A WheelPad® accessible modular home attachment can quickly enable an employee and their family who live in an inaccessible single-family home to remain together. Available for lease or purchase, the WheelPad solution offers innovative insurers, TPAs, or the self-insured:
- Reduced claim costs
- Speedier return-to-work, if possible
- Improved claimant-worker satisfaction and retention
