I used average SUI and worker's comp rates. So the increased rates you are talking about are already averaged into my numbers.

The point of the last post was to deal with the lawyer costs you raised. Companies will spend some money fighting these claims, but they won't spend a fortune fighting them.

According to this Worker comp claims have been falling.'. And according to the Wall Street Journal too The number of workplace injuries recorded by the federal government has dropped by 31% over the past decade.

Maybe you are thinking of Social Security Disability, instead of workers comp?
