Analysis of 1.2 million workers compensation
claims reveals the costliest claims are driven by the most common
workplace accidents; also shows first-year employees still among
those most vulnerable to injury
The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV), the largest workers
compensation insurer in the United States, today released its 2024
Injury Impact Report, which examined more than 1.2 million workers
compensation claims from 2017 to 2021. The findings revealed that
the most common workplace accidents make up the majority of claim
costs.
Most frequent causes of injury:
- Overexertion (29% of claims analyzed).
- Slips, trips and falls (23%).
- Being struck by an object (12%).
- Motor vehicle accidents (5%).
- Caught-in or caught-between hazards (5%).
Top five drivers of severe claims ($250,000 or more), beginning
with the costliest:
- Slips, trips and falls.
- Overexertion.
- Being struck by an object.
- Motor vehicle accidents.
- Caught-in or caught-between hazards.
“Factors such as inexperience, workforce shortages and
maintenance issues are all contributing to these unfortunate and
often avoidable accidents,” said Rich Ives, Senior Vice President
of Business Insurance Claim at Travelers. “While the number of
injuries overall has been trending downward in recent years, our
analysis shows that there’s never been a better time for businesses
to invest in workplace safety and injury prevention.”
New Employees Are Most Vulnerable
Similar to previous years, the 2024 report found that employees
in their first year on the job continue to be the most vulnerable
to workplace injuries, accounting for 35% of all workers
compensation claims. This year’s analysis also uncovered increases
in missed workdays due to injuries:
- On average, injured employees missed 72 workdays, up one day
from last year’s report.
- The construction industry continued to have the highest average
number of lost workdays per injury (103 workdays, up from 99),
followed by transportation (83 workdays, up from 77).
- Injured small-business employees missed an average of 82
workdays, up from 79.
“There are tangible consequences to any injury, and many include
long-term, sometimes permanent, effects,” said Chris Hayes,
Assistant Vice President of Workers Compensation and
Transportation, Risk Control, at Travelers. “By understanding where
the risks were in the past, businesses can better identify what to
look for and tailor their risk management and employee safety
strategies accordingly to help prevent injuries from
happening.”
