During the pandemic, agents and brokers found themselves in the unenviable position of needing to find ways to reduce the soaring costs being incurred by their construction clients.

Workers’ compensation claims are one of the most inefficient and costly aspects of a construction project.

While construction presents more risk for workers than most other industries, there are also issues with the traditional workers’ compensation claim process that drive costs without yielding better results.
