Strain and sprain injury effects on work comp claims
This is the second in a five-part series of blog posts recapping our webinar, Preventing strains and sprains.
The second portion of SFM’s webinar discussed the effects on claims due to strain and sprain injuries.
Holly Hansen, Senior Claims Representative, outlined:
- When to report a claim and why
- What might cause claims costs to increase
- What causes work-related strain and sprain injuries to linger
She broke down the potential costs of an untimely claim report, which could be about $32,000 more expensive depending on the situation.
To wrap up her portion of the presentation, Hansen, who has nearly 20 years of experience in the field, provided examples of SFM’s return-to-work resources.
