A local bar/restaurant owner was on my radio show (So Cal) the other day - she said her usual insurance was $14,000/year for her business. Her insurance company fled the state - she was able to get two quotes: One was for $55,000, the other for $95,000. She said with that and worker’s comp, she will be out of business.
Worker’s comp went up in CA because of the widespread fraud. It’s everywhere and for a long time companies didn’t fight it because they though it would be cheaper to ignore it, settle, and look the other way, and now the fraud is out of control in CA.
Was that the Jon Phillips show? I no longer live in CA but still enjoy talk radio it there.
