Workers Compensation Rates in Alabama

Alabama workers' compensation rates continue to Flatten in 2023.

Alabama currently ranks number 20 for the highest workers’ compensation rates in the nation, according to a recent study completed by the Department of Consumer Business and Services. The study indicates a breakdown from a 2020 study where Alabama ranked as the 30th most expensive rates overall. Alabama rates are averaging about 8% higher than the national median.

Alabama is an NCCI state like most other states. This means that NCCI oversees employers' experience modifiers and collects all data for the state including claims, class codes, premiums, and payroll. NCCI analyzes this data and makes annual recommendations to carriers and to the Alabama Department of Insurance. Every Insurance company is required to file their rates with the state for approval.

Workers' compensation rates may still vary for the same class codes in Alabama because insurance companies can apply policy credits and debits up to 25% to adjust their filed rates. More discounts may also be added to a policy depending on the size of payroll and the overall claims experience.

Workers Comp Rates are an Art & Science

What influences my workers comp insurance cost?

Your State & Class Codes

Insurance companies file their "base manual rates" for approval with each state for all class codes. Rate recommendations are generally made to the state and carriers annually by the National Council on Compensation Insurance.

Your Claims or Losses

Employee claims are reported to NCCI and statistically compared with all other similar type businesses using the same class code in each state. An Experience Modification Rate may apply to your business after a few years of coverage.

Prior Experience & Coverage

Insurance company underwriters are permitted to make premium rate adjustments based on unique factors about your business, safety practices, and management experience in most states.

Policy Credits and Debits

Insurance companies may apply policy credits and debits to the base manual rates. Additional discounts can be applied to premium as the total payroll & premium increases.

Smart Agents with expertise in workers' compensation insurance utilize this information to negotiate your insurance rates with underwriters. A good narrative about your business helps insurance companies justify a better price.
