Employers Direct Insurance Company Leaving California

Holy Cow! What happens to Employers Direct Insurance Company policyholders who bought workers comp insurance from this company now that they've decided to stop writing workers comp in California? Check here for answers to your workers compensation questions.

Employers Direct Insurance Company is a workers comp insurance carrier who does business in California, Illinois, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Utah. They are famous for writing workers compensation insurance directly to employers without going through a broker. Usually companies like this sell workers comp at rock bottom prices relying on the lowest price as the attraction for employers to do business with them. Employers Direct has decided to leave the California workers compensation market by not writing any new business in the state. This after they announced earlier a request to California for about a 39% rate increase. Company officials have indicated that they will continue to service existing customers.

Unfortunately you can expect to see more companies following their example, given the poor workers compensation environment in California.
