When workers are injured on thc

claims. Though no specific data was
available on the cost of a typical workers' compensation claim. Terstegen
said it was "quite expensive."
When a claim is filed or a complaint
is made about a specific work area on
campus, Terstegen's office does an
"ergonomic evaluation" to try and
prevent further injuries. This is done
on a case-by-case basis.
