ABC Self-Insured Workers Comp Group

The ABC NH Self-Insured Group Trust for Worker’s Compensation is the only self-insured group program for contractors in New Hampshire.

The ABC New Hampshire Workers’ Compensation Self-Insurance Group (SIG), was formed in 1994 by six ABC New Hampshire Members. Workers compensation is in the most expensive line item in a construction company’s budget, so they created this program to give members control over these costs.

The service SIG provides includes an aggressive claims management process, a significant amount of hands-on safety resources free of charge and dividends for good performance.  

The commitment of the SIG members, paired with that of our Board of Directors and fund administrators, has led to dividend distributions over $14.5 million since inception. Our loss ratios remain in the single digits versus those of the commercial industry which average 65%.   

Regardless of economic market conditions, the SIG’s appetite and resources have remained consistent and our members never shop their workers compensation again. Please join your peers and join our successful program by clicking through the links and reaching out.
