West Virginia: Insurance official ponders rate drop

Employers in West Virginia may see their workers' comp rates decrease an average 8.1 percent in November.

That's the figure under consideration by acting Insurance Commissioner Michael Riley.

NCCI recommended the loss cost rate reduction in a letter to Riley. If approved, it would equate to an average rate decrease of more than 50 percent since West Virginia privatized its workers' comp system in 2006. Riley is expected to issue a decision soon.
