Worker’s compensation is not just one of the most important issues any operator of an Indiana company will face; it can also be one of the costliest. With the average cost of a work-related injury at $42,000, according to national data, it is vital to prepare your company for future claims.

Indiana business operators big and small can learn strategies to handle claims and keep premiums low at the Indiana Chamber’s 2023 Indiana Worker’s Compensation Conference, which takes place August 24 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel. A virtual attendance option is available.
