CannGen Insurance recently participated in an educational panel hosted by the California Lawyers Association , focused on current trends and regulatory developments at the intersection of cannabis and workers’ compensation.
The panel brought together legal, regulatory, and industry professionals to examine how evolving cannabis laws, employment practices, and compliance requirements are shaping workers’ compensation exposure for cannabis operators.
During the discussion, CannGen contributed perspective on how cannabis-specific risks continue to differ from traditional industries and why specialized underwriting and regulatory awareness remain critical.
Key takeaways from the panel included:
- Regulatory expectations for cannabis employers continue to evolve at the state level, directly impacting workers’ compensation eligibility and compliance.
- Cannabis businesses face unique workforce and operational risks that require industry-specific workers’ compensation solutions rather than standard market approaches.
- Proactive risk management, clear employment practices, and experienced insurance partners play a key role in minimizing claims exposure and coverage gaps.
As the cannabis industry matures, CannGen remains committed to sharing expertise, supporting brokers and employers, and contributing to informed dialogue around complex regulatory and insurance challenges.
