California Workers Comp Crisis - What happened to it and what settled everything down in the state with the worst Workers Comp environment?

The California Workers Comp Crisis was in my opinion almost eliminated due to seven things occurring over the last four years.

• The Governor becoming very involved with Workers Comp
• Senate Bill 899
• The emergence of Medical Provider Networks (MPN's)
• A new Insurance Commissioner
• More Workers Comp insurance carriers entering the market
• The cleaning up of the State Fund
• More control exerted on the California Workers Comp Insurance Rating Bureau (WCIRB)

I will go over these terms over the next few days. If there are any ones that I should add to the list, please email me at
