Today, LWCC announced it is distributing a 2025 dividend of $7.76 million to more than 2,100 business across the Northwest Region, reinforcing its commitment to supporting local employers and helping strengthen Louisiana’s economy.
This regional return is part of LWCC’s $90 million dividend being distributed to roughly 18,500 policyholder businesses statewide.
As a private, mutual workers’ compensation company, LWCC policyholders are members. This structure allows members to share in the company’s financial success through dividends, which they can reinvest into their businesses. 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.
Local Shreveport business A Watertight Roofing owner Robert May shared, “The dividend helps us offset operational expenses, allowing us to reinvest more dollars back into our business and continue operating from a position of strength.”
“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 inception.
LWCC remains focused on its mission to better Louisiana one business and one worker at a time. The company continues 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.
