Last week, Jeff Adelson was interviewed for an article in Business Insurance magazine about the rise in psychiatric claims related to worker’s compensation claims.

Jeff pointed out that, “California’s surge into mental-injury acceptance became a problem in the 1990s and was addressed by state reforms since, but is still prevalent.”
