PITTSBURGH, April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the most significant expenses incurred by Pennsylvania employers is the cost of workers' compensation insurance driven by claims made against their business. In an effort to help Pennsylvania employers contain their workers' compensation exposure and control costs, the Pittsburgh based law firm of Fried, Kane, Walters, Zuschlag and Grochmal has published The 2008 Employers' Guide to Pennsylvania's Workers' Compensation Law.
