Workers' Comp Insurance

Workers Compensation

  • Workers compensation laws were created to ensure that employees who are injured on the job are provided with fixed monetary awards. Not only does this eliminate the need for litigation and makes it easier for the employee, but it also helps control the financial risks for employers since many states limit the amount an injured employee can recover from an employer.Workers Compensation Insurance helps companies pay these benefits. As a protection for employees, most states require that employers carry some form of Workers Compensation Insurance. Workers Compensation Insurance is not health insurance but is designed specifically for injuries sustained on the job.In most states, if you have employees, you are required to carry Workers Compensation coverage. Even in non-mandatory states, it can still be a good idea, particularly if you have many employees, or especially if they are engaged in hazardous activities.Employers have a legal responsibility to their employees to make the workplace safe. However, accidents still happen even when every reasonable safety measure has been taken.To protect employers from lawsuits resulting from workplace accidents and to provide medical care and compensation for lost income to employees hurt in workplace accidents, in almost every state, businesses are required to buy workers compensation insurance. Workers compensation insurance covers workers injured on the job, whether they’re hurt on the workplace premises or elsewhere, or in auto accidents while on business. It also covers work-related illnesses.Workers’ Comp Coverage also pays medical expenses for your personal part-time employees, such as gardeners, nannies or maids, who are injured on the job.

*Coverage(s) may be subject to certain restrictions and limitations and may not be available in all states. Your local independent agent will provide you with more information.

Workers compensation provides payments to injured workers, without regard to who was at fault in the accident, for time lost from work and for medical and rehabilitation services. Death benefits are also paid to surviving spouses and dependents.

Each state has different laws governing the amount and duration of lost income benefits, the provision of medical and rehabilitation services and how the system is administered. For example, in most states there are regulations that cover whether the worker or employer can choose the doctor who treats the injuries and how disputes about benefits are resolved.

Workers compensation insurance must be bought as a separate policy. Although in-home business and business owners’ policies (BOPs) are sold as package policies, they don’t include coverage for workers’ injuries.
