Worker Comp Insurance Rates Cut
Workman’s Compensation in
surance rates in Georgia will
be reduced by nearly $3 mil
lion in premiums on July 1,
Comptroller General James L.
Bentley announced.
Bentley, state insurance com
missioner, had high praise for
both Georgia employers and
employes who have cooperated
in safety programs aimed at
eliminating injuries.
"This is an example of what
can be done when there is such
cooperation. Automobile in
surance rates can be reduced
in the same way if Georgia
drivers will work as success
fully to cut down traffic acci
dents,” Bentley declared.
Bentley said that all insurance
rates are based on safety fac
tors and insurance losses.
