LWCC Announces Dividend of $90 Million to Policyholders

WRITTEN BY

Baton Rouge, Louisiana (April 23, 2026) – Today, LWCC announced that it is returning a 2025 dividend of $90 million to more than 18,500 member policyholders, which are businesses across the state.

LWCC is a private, mutual workers’ compensation insurance company.  As a mutual company, LWCC is owned by its Louisiana-based policyholder businesses. Being a member of LWCC allows policyholders to share in the financial success of the company through a dividend distribution, among other benefits. Importantly, dividends paid to members are funds they use as they see fit. Many policyholders – 95% of which are small businesses – reinvest these funds into safety improvements, facility needs, or other priorities that support their business and Louisiana’s economy.

“Our purpose is to help Louisiana thrive. Distributing these funds to our policyholder members is one of the most meaningful ways LWCC brings that purpose to life,” said Kristin W. Wall, LWCC’s president and CEO. “While dividends are not guaranteed, we have been able to distribute one for 23 consecutive years. These funds help member businesses invest in their employees, strengthen their operations, and continue building safer workplaces across our state.”

With this dividend, LWCC will have provided an economic return of $1.6 billion to Louisiana policyholder businesses through the dividend program since program inception.

LWCC remains focused on its mission to better Louisiana one business and one worker at a time.  The company will continue to proudly support injured workers and help them return to work and a meaningful life, while also relentlessly focusing on helping employers achieve safer workplaces.
