SSA  has helped companies save millions of dollars by providing a simplified risk management , loss control, safety and claims program so that the injured employee would understand the workers' compensation claims process and to create a better relationship between the injured worker, the employer and the Louisiana Construction & Industry SIF.

SSA programs are designed to educate the injured worker, which assist in eliminating the moral and morale hazards - reducing undue legal and medical costs to the employer.

SSA was founded on the philosophy, after working for major insurance companies and group self insurance funds that injured workers did not understand the workers' compensation process. This lack of knowledge promoted attorney involvement, thus creating higher settlement costs which a greater portion went to legal fees and medical providers rather than the injured worker. Under the Louisiana Construction & Industry SIF and SSA administrative program, the injured worker is able to settle his/her claim timely and place more money in his/her pocket, rather than in the pockets of the legal and medical profession. This has resulted in direct savings to the Louisiana Construction & Industry SIF.

SSA provides a risk management, loss control and safety program that are designed to reduce the frequency and severity of accidents in the work force. Our programs compares closely and complies with OSHA and ADA requirements in that our programs are designed to save the company money by reducing injuries in the work force.
