California Workers' Comp Specialists20–500 employees

Stop Workers' Comp from crushing your margins. Get a X-Mod specialist + claims audit.

If you're dealing with high X-Mods, hard-to-place operations, rising rates, or claims that won't close, our team will run a fast, high-signal review and map the best next steps—often uncovering cost drivers generic renewals miss.

  • Pinpoint what's driving your WCIRB X-Mod and where the leverage actually is
  • Triage open claims with a claims advocate lens (reserves, strategy, closure velocity)
  • Build an underwriting-ready story to improve carrier appetite and terms
  • Shop niche Workers' Comp markets (programs/captives where a fit—no forced path)

Confidential. No obligation.

Best fit for:

California businesses paying $100K+ in annual workers' comp premium with an X-Mod above 1.00, or businesses that have seen their modifier climbing over the past 2-3 years.

Industries we've seen success:

  • Construction & Trades
  • Manufacturing
  • Wholesale Distribution

If any of this sounds familiar...

These are the patterns we see every day with California businesses.

What you're experiencing

  • X-Mod is climbing (or stuck above 1.00)
  • Claims from years ago are still dragging up your rate
  • Your broker says there's nothing they can do
  • Renewal premiums keep increasing with no explanation

What it's costing you

  • Premium increases that hit cash flow and bids
  • Lost contracts because your mod makes you non-competitive
  • Higher than necessary reserves on open claims
  • Thousands per year in preventable overcharges

Find out if your X-Mod contains correctable errors.

Trusted by California Operators

“

We had been with the same broker for 10 years and never once did they question our X-Mod or review our claims. Drew found errors in our rating worksheet that saved us over $40,000 in the first year.

High X-Mod situation

Manufacturing — Central Valley

“

Our X-Mod was 1.35 and climbing. Within 18 months of working with Cali Work Comp, it dropped to 1.12. They got two claims reclassified and pushed our carrier to close old reserves.

X-Mod reduction

Construction — Southern California

Case Study

Central Valley Manufacturer — 85 Employees

Challenge:

X-Mod at 1.42 with $320K annual premium. Two large claims from 3 years prior still carrying inflated reserves.

Approach:

Audited experience rating worksheet, identified one misclassified claim and one with excessive reserves. Worked with carrier to close one claim and reduce reserves on the other.

Result:

X-Mod reduced to 1.18 — saving $78,000/year in premium.

Results vary by individual situation. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
