Praetorian Insurance Company has filed with the California Department of Insurance to revise its base rates for workers’ compensation policies effective November 1, 2023. This change has a direct effect on the price policyholders pay for coverage.
How will this affect pricing?
Consider how the average rate* effective for November 1, 2023 for this issuing company is changing compared to the prior policy period:
Issuing Company | Average Rate
Eff 11/1/2022 | Average Rate
Eff 11/1/2023 | % Change |
Praetorian Insurance Company | 6.92 | 6.83 | -1.30% |
