Question: Workers Compensation Do I Really Need This Type of Coverage?
Reply: 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. Insurance quotes vary according to the state your business is in so you need to keep this mind when shopping for insurance. 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.
In some states small businesses with fewer than three to five employees may not be required to carry workers compensation insurance. However, even if family members are excluded, they are still counted towards the number of employees to determine if you are required by law to carry workers compensation insurance. We have many workers compensation insurance and general liability carriers to help your business. Employers failing to comply with these laws may be subject to penalties by the state and, in addition, may lose protections afforded them by workers compensation insurance and the laws of the state.
