"Monitoring the constant wave of legislative activity across this nation is one thing. Making it clear and understandable is quite another. Lexis has done an excellent job of both with the 'Workers' Compensation Emerging Issues Analysis'. Their choice of local experts is superb, and they provide both clear recap and commentary, giving clarity to what was, legislatively, a very tumultuous year."

the world according to marsh:
workers' comp industry insiders review the lay of the land for 2014 |
Karen C. Yotis, Esq., our Feature Resident Columnist, provides insights into workplace issues and the nuts and bolts of the workers' comp world.
 When it comes to gaining insight in order to assess risk, it's no secret that the legal, business, and insurance professionals often turn to Marsh USA for that particular global perspective which springs from the detailed knowledge of the organization's collective expertise. Marsh generously shared some of this valuable knowledge recently in the first of a four-part webcast series hosted by Christopher Flatt, Workers' Compensation Center of Excellence Leader at Marsh and his colleague, Workers' Compensation Market Research Leader Mark Walls. Joining these Marsh specialists was Max Koonce, Senior Director of Risk Management at Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., who added a great deal of practical, bottom line-focused input to the discussion.
