"Every man owes a part of his time and money to the business or industry in which he is engaged.  No man has a moral right to withhold his support from an organization that is striving to improve conditions within his sphere."

The Alabama Self-Insurers Association (ASIA) was formed in 1992 by ten self-insured companies with the goal of helping employers understand worker's compensation law and any proposed changes, as well as ensuring equitable coverage for the injured employee. Today, ASIA boasts a membership in excess of 400.

ASIA is a statewide, non-profit membership organization that represents the interests of employers in Alabama who self-insure workers' compensation coverage on their employees. ASIA is committed to a workers' compensation program that:

• Adequately compensates the employee with a work-related injury
• Recognizes fair limitations on employer responsibility
• Provides for an appropriate distribution of the compensation dollar
• Reduces litigation
• Is dedicated to eliminating abuses within the system
• Operates within the bounds of reasonable and necessary regulations
