So what coverage do I need?

Protection From Work-Related Illness or Injury

Medical Expenses

Imagine your employee gets injured on the job; Workers' Compensation covers their medical bills, from doctor visits and surgeries to prescriptions and rehabilitation.

Lost Wages

If an employee's injury or illness keeps them away from work, Workers' Compensation provides wage replacement benefits. This means they still get paid while recovering, reducing their financial stress.

Vocational Rehabilitation

Sometimes, an injury might require a career change. Workers' Comp can cover vocational rehabilitation programs, helping injured employees learn new skills to get back to work.

Travel and Commute

Workers' Compensation often covers injuries that occur while an employee is traveling for work or during their daily commute, depending on state laws.

Mental Health Coverage

Some policies now include coverage for mental health conditions resulting from workplace stress or trauma.

Legal Liability Protection

Workers' Compensation also provides employers with legal liability protection. In most cases, employees cannot sue their employer for workplace injuries if they receive Workers' Comp benefits.

Disability Benefits

In case an employee is left with a partial or total disability due to a work-related incident, Workers' Compensation can provide disability benefits to compensate for lost earning capacity.

Death Benefits

Tragically, work-related accidents can lead to fatalities. In such cases, Workers' Compensation can provide death benefits to the surviving family members, helping with funeral costs and financial support.

Legal Protection

Workers' Compensation also includes legal coverage. If an employee disputes their claim or if there are legal issues surrounding the injury, this coverage can assist with legal fees.

Occupational Disease

It's not just for injuries; Workers' Compensation can also cover illnesses or diseases that develop due to workplace exposures, like asbestos-related conditions.

Return-to-Work Programs

To help employees return to work sooner and safely, Workers' Comp can fund return-to-work programs and accommodations, making the transition smoother for everyone.

Ways to Save on Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Implement comprehensive workplace safety programs, employee training, and safety equipment to reduce the risk of workplace injuries and accidents. Insurers often offer lower premiums to businesses with strong safety records.

Safety Programs

Monitor and maintain a low EMR, which reflects your company's claims history and safety practices. A lower EMR can result in reduced workers' compensation premiums.

Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

Manage workers' compensation claims efficiently by providing prompt medical treatment and rehabilitation to injured employees. Effective claims management can lead to lower insurance costs.
