The enclosed Score Card is the second in the ICIS injury series and provides detailed data and graphics on California work injury claims involving shoulder, arm, knee and lower leg sprains. Based on CWCI Industry Claims Information System (ICIS) data, these injuries are among the most common diagnoses in California workers’ compensation, and though they tend to cost less than other injuries, this CWCI Score Card shows that 1/3 of these sprain cases result in lost time, with total benefit payments averaging more than $19,000 after 2 years.
