As the heroic rescue and recovery efforts in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks continue, workers‘ compensation insurers will have an important role in repairing the economic damage resulting from the tragedy, according to the National Association of Independent Insurers (NAII).
"We are still coming to grips with the almost incomprehensible human toll of these attacks," said Nancy Schroeder, NAII assistant vice president - workers‘ compensation. "Our first concern is for those injured in the disaster and for the families and friends of those killed in the attacks."
However, Schroeder indicated that insurers will be on the front lines of helping individuals and businesses put their lives back together after the national tragedy.
