The
continuing rise in cost of workers’ compensation
claims, due in large part to rising medical costs
that continue to outflank inflation, has resulted
in extensive losses to workers' compensation
carriers during the past several years. TRISTAR
Risk Management has always focused on a total loss
cost management approach to claims. Through the
design and implementation of medical, legal and loss
control programs, TRISTAR helps their clients
minimize expenses and return injured employees to
work in a cost effective, timely manner.
