The 2007 numbers are in, and once again AIG is the largest writer of WC in the US. They are followed by Liberty Mutual, Zurich, the Travelers and Hartford, with theCalifornia state fund dropping out of the top five.

Witness the bloodbath in the FL TPA market for proof of just how widespread this is
