Workers Compensation Insurance
Workers' Compensation Insurance covers the costs of employee injuries that occur while working for your company.
What is Workers Compensation Insurance?
Workers' Compensation Insurance is an indispensable policy for many businesses. It provides benefits to employees suffering from work-related injuries, covering medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and even death benefits in case of fatalities.
Why You Need It
To Provide A Certificate Of Workers' Compensation Insurance
Businesses often purchase workers' compensation insurance to produce a certificate of insurance (COI) for a customer, supplier, or financial institution. This document serves as proof that the company is insured to cover any workplace injuries or illnesses.
To Comply With State Or Federal Regulations
Government mandates require certain businesses to have workers' compensation insurance. Regulations vary by state and industry, but typically, businesses with employees need this insurance to remain legally compliant.
To Protect The Business From Major Financial Burdens
A significant workplace accident can lead to enormous costs. Workers' compensation insurance protects businesses from potentially devastating financial burdens resulting from employee injuries or illnesses.
