What is Workers Compensation Insurance?
Workers Compensation Insurance protects you from financial loss as a result of injuries or disease incurred by employees while on the job. It is an important part of your overall business insurance.
Why do you need Workers Compensation?
Businesses are responsible for the injuries to their employees while they are on the job. State laws provide what an employee is entitled to receive in the way of medical care and/or loss of income benefits as the result of an injury on the job. Workers Compensation pays these medical and loss of income benefits on behalf of the employer.
Laws may require that only businesses with a certain number of employees are required to carry coverage. However, this does not mean that a business is not responsible and potentially liable for injuries to its employees. We recommend that all employers carry Workers Compensation, regardless of their number of employees.
Can Safety Programs reduce your Workers Compensation premium?
Most definitely. Many Workers Compensation policies will have some type of a dividend or other claim sensitive provision that will reduce or return portions of the premium in return for reduced claims. In addition, each employer may received an experience modification from the National Council on Compensation Insurance that will apply either a credit or a debit to the employer's premium.
We take an active role in guiding our clients through available loss control and safety programs that will reduce their claims and their Workers Compensation premiums.
