Join the Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) for an insightful 30-minute webinar on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at 2 PM ET, as we explore findings from our recent FlashReport—Overview of Workers’ Compensation Claims Composition, which evaluated shifts in claim characteristics from 2017 to 2022.

“This webinar will provide system stakeholders with observations about shifts in claim characteristics during a period of significant economic and workforce disruptions,” said Ramona Tanabe, WCRI president and CEO. “Through detailed tables and graphs, the study highlights emerging trends that can help inform decision-making.”

During this webinar, the study’s authors, Dr. Vennela Thumula and Dr. Olesya Fomenko, will address the following questions:

• How did the relative share of work injuries change by industry?
• Did the proportion of women/men among work-related injuries change?
• What was the most frequent injury type, and were there differences in injury distribution by age, gender, and industry?
• Did work-related injuries occur more frequently among younger or older workers?

The data for this study focus on 8.4 million non-COVID-19 claims from injury years 2017 through 2022 across 31 states, which represent about 80 percent of the workers' compensation benefits paid in the United States.

The webinar is free for WCRI members and $50 for non-members, with participation capped at 500 attendees. Registrants will receive a copy of the webinar slides and a recording of the session. Click here to register now.
