Workers’ Compensation Strategy for Colorado Employers

---

At Ascent Insurance Solutions, we know all the usual ways to save on workers’ compensation, but we go beyond that.

We help Colorado employers understand what actually drives their workers’ comp premiums and build proactive safety and cost-control strategies that last.

Because here’s the truth:

💡 Your insurance premium is only part of the story. It’s your total cost of risk that really matters.

When we review your policy, it doesn’t take long to spot whether you’re in a solid position or if there’s missed opportunity. And frankly, most of the time, it’s the latter.

Why? Because most policies are sold, not strategically structured. Once they’re written, ongoing support often disappears.

No matter where you stand now, our focus stays the same:

Advocacy. Accessibility. Always.

Workers’ compensation is one of the most controllable lines of insurance—both in practice and in premium.

There’s no single magic bullet, but there are proven ways to:
✅ Reduce costs
✅ Improve claim outcomes
✅ Strengthen your safety culture

It all starts with the right partner—someone who not only understands workers’ comp inside and out, but actually has a passion for it. (Yes, we exist.)

Your business isn’t one-size-fits-all—your workers’ comp program shouldn’t be either.

We tailor each program to fit your unique operations, combining hands-on support, data-driven insights, and long-term strategy.

Tired of being stuck in an auto-renew cycle where workers’ comp is just another add-on to your commercial package?

We hear it all the time.

That’s why we often start with workers’ comp—it’s where we can make the biggest impact right away.

Not all carriers rate risks the same way—rates, tiers, and appetite vary widely.

At Ascent Insurance, we have access to 100+ workers’ comp markets, giving you flexibility and leverage when it comes to pricing and coverage.

Our job is to guide you through your options and help you choose a solution that aligns with:

✔️ Your budget
✔️ Your coverage needs
✔️ Your long-term safety and compliance goals

Already happy with your carrier? Great. There’s a good chance we already represent them.

Transitioning to us is as simple as signing one Broker of Record (BOR) letter—and we’ll take it from there.

Already have coverage in place? Perfect.

Here’s how we kick things off:

1️⃣ Send us your current declarations page (and any endorsements you have handy).
2️⃣ We’ll review and benchmark your policy against Colorado carriers and broader Western-state markets.
3️⃣ We’ll flag coverage gaps, pricing issues, or improvement opportunities—the stuff most people don’t see until it costs them money.

Want even sharper insights?

Include your Experience Modification Worksheet, loss runs, and any updated payroll/class code information. The more we see, the stronger our recommendations.

If we’re a good fit, we’ll jump in and start advocating for you right away—whether your renewal is coming up soon or you need midterm support.
