California Horsemen's Safety Alliance (CHSA) president John W. Sadler announced today that Workers' Compensation coverage with a new insurance carrier and broker has been finalized for the year beginning July 1, 2010.
The new broker is Marc Goodwin Insurance Services of Carmel, California. The new insurance carrier will be Companion Property & Casualty Insurance Company, an A (Excellent) VIII rated insurance carrier whose specialty is Workers' Compensation and is emerging as a significant carrier in California after wide success in this field throughout much of the United States.
Trainers throughout California will be receiving applications and complete program information early in the week -- immediately upon return of completed applications, new Workers' Compensation Certificates of Insurance will be issued to horsemen and the California Horse Racing Board well before July 1. Invoices to horsemen for the first monthly premium due under the new plan will follow.

Trainers insured by AIG/Chartis through MOC recently received letters and billings for taxes and service fees related to their workers' compensation coverage for the July, 2009 - June, 2010 policy year. We are pleased to report that, through meetings of the CTBL and CHSA held on May 25, 2010, CTT representatives negotiated the repeal of these fees.
Consequently, please be advised that the billing is not payable and is to be discarded. If anyone has already paid such billing, please contact the CTT office at (626) 447-2145, and we will assist you in obtaining a full refund.
Also, you will soon receive from MOC a workers' compensation insurance renewal application. We ask that you please hold on returning your application to MOC until you next hear from the CTT.
