How does workers' comp work in Utah?

Utah is currently one of the cheapest states in the country to purchase Workers' Compensation Insurance. These rates are low partially because of the fact Utah has a Workers Compensation Fund (WCF) who controls 57 percent of the insurance market in the state. The fund is able to control prices because the second biggest provider controls only 3 percent of the remaining market. This brings about immense competition and keeps prices low for Utah employers.
