Tennessee Workers’ Comp Rates to Decrease in 2025
The Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance has announced a reduction in workers’ compensation insurance premiums for 2025, marking the 12th consecutive year of rate decreases. Governor Bill Lee praised the reduction as an opportunity for business reinvestment, while Commissioner Carter Lawrence credited safer workplaces and fewer injuries for the 3.6% decrease in loss costs, effective March 1, 2025. This change benefits employers by allowing them to adjust premiums based on the National Council on Compensation Insurance filings and their own data.
