Injured Worker Mortality

This paper discusses the NCCI Special Call for Injured Worker Mortality Data and the ensuing analysis of that data. The design of the call companies' ability to supply elements of the call are discussed. The goal wan to see if the mortality of pensioned differs significantly from that of’ the general population. It does appear that, at least for ages below 60, the reported injured worker mortality rate is higher than reported on standard U.S. life mortality tables. Between ages 60 and 74, the injured worker mortality rate does not differ appreciably from standard mortality. The differences in mortality, while significant, do not imply significant redundancy or inadequacy of tabular reserves.
