Real-Life Robocop Webinar: Meeting 'Impossible' RTW Goals in Catastrophic Cases

Event Details

Start: June 14, 2018 @ 2:00PM EDT End: @ Location: Online Event

When workers survive a catastrophic injury, they often sustain significant injuries that prevent them from returning to work. Yet, technological advances are making inroads in allowing people with disabilities to regain a high level of functioning. In this can’t-miss webinar, you will meet Jeremy “Robocop” Romero, a New Mexico police officer who sustained an on-duty spinal cord injury, yet returned to policework six months after his incident.

Genex’s Trish Elizalde will join Jeremy in presenting his remarkable case study. Through Jeremy’s own words, you will witness the triumph of the human spirit as he explains the details of his accident, fight for survival, physical and psychosocial challenges of adapting to life after spinal cord injury and determination to “walk” again through the use of an exoskeleton device.

End-to-End Claim Insight: Identifying Risk Early to Protect Outcomes and Cost

An employee strains a shoulder lifting inventory. On day one, the injury looks routine. The diagnosis is familiar, and the treatment plan feels straightforward. Nothing about the claim seems especially concerning.

Auto Casualty Claims

First-party automobile medical claims reflect a market that is beginning to demonstrate measurable cost discipline after several years of steady severity growth. Following increases in allowed medical cost per claimant from 2022 through 2024, the 2025 loss year marks the first year-over-year decline in allowed cost per claimant, decreasing 0.6% from the prior year.

Behavioral Health Trends in Workers’ Compensation

This study looked at all lost-time (LT) claims with dates of injury 1/1/2025–12/31/2025, valued at 15 months (3/31/2026) to determine the impact of behavioral health treatments on the costs of a workers’ compensation claim. We looked at the impact of behavior health treatments (identified by diagnosis and/or CPT treatment codes) on the total medical costs of claims, the total medical treatment duration days, and the frequency of the different types of behavioral health diagnoses.

Workers’ Compensation Medical Claims

Medical severity — not overall claim frequency — emerges as the defining trend across the 2022–2025 loss years. Enlyte data is consistent with NCCI and WCRI reporting, overall workers’ compensation claim frequency remains flat to declining nationally. The notable change within this dataset is not the number of claims occurring across the system, but rather how medical services are being delivered, accessed, and utilized within existing claims.

Macro Signals: Workers’ Compensation and Personal Auto

Workers’ compensation continues to be one of the P&C industry’s most consistent underwriting success stories, supported by sustained operational discipline rather than short‑term tailwinds.

Macro Signals: State of the P&C Industry

Claims management does not operate in isolation. It responds to — and reflects — broader economic, legal and structural forces shaping the insurance market. Pricing cycles, inflationary pressures, labor dynamics, medical cost trends, litigation patterns and capital market performance all converge to influence loss ratios and operational strategy.
