The County’s economic stability is anchored in their wide-ranging spectrum of businesses, from agriculture to aerospace.

Implementation began October 1, 2007 and the county is now utilizing JI’s online claims submission system. “JI provides us with a complete program,” said Paul Wood, Risk Manager, Tarrant County. “We are also very pleased with all of the JI online capabilities. Our in-house workers’ compensation staff can view all of the claims data online, in real-time with secure access to JI. The JI Risk Online reporting modules allow us to run all our reports on demand.
