Workers Compensation Insurance

As a responsible business owner, ensuring the safety of your employees at work is a top priority. However, accidents and injuries can still happen, which is why having workers compensation coverage is essential. Not only does it provide your employees with the protection they need, but it also gives you peace of mind.

Workers compensation insurance is often required by law for businesses with employees, regardless of the nature of the job. It covers medical expenses and a portion of lost wages for employees who are injured or fall ill while on the job. Think of it as an airbag for your business - it deploys when trouble strikes, helping your employee get back to work as soon as possible and minimizing the impact on your business.

While you may view workers compensation insurance as an unnecessary luxury, it can actually be a wise investment for your business. Just imagine having to pay for a slip-and-fall accident out of your business checking account - the costs could be substantial. Workers comp insurance not only protects your employees but also shields you from potential lawsuits by employees for workplace conditions when your company is found liable for causing an injury or illness.

You may be wondering what happens if an injury is caused by employee carelessness. In most cases, fault does not matter in a workers compensation claim. Each state has its own workers compensation system, which is a mandated program designed to compensate employees who are injured in a workplace accident or become ill due to their job. It ensures that employers bear some of the costs of injuries or occupational diseases contracted by employees while performing their work duties.

Since workers comp insurance typically only covers injuries or illnesses when they occur as a result of duties performed on the job or while at work, the scope of the coverage of the policy is limited to duties performed by employees.

Injuries that may be covered by workers comp insurance include lifting heavy equipment, slipping on a wet or oily surface, or sustaining injury, due to fires or explosions.

Workers Compensation Insurance may cover:

• Medical bills for employees hurt or sickened at work
• Ongoing care, including rehabilitation
• Wages missed while recovering
• Employee lawsuits over injuries
• Funeral expenses, if an employee is killed on the job

• Third-party lawsuits
• Lawsuits over professional errors
• Wages for a replacement worker
• Parental leave benefits
