Protect Your Most Valuable Assets—Employees
Workers’ Compensation Insurance protects businesses and employees when a worker becomes sick or injured from an employment-related cause. Workers’ Compensation Insurance provides assistance in covering medical expenses and lost wages for affected employees.
While there are differences in how the law is administered in each state, most U.S. states require businesses to have Workers’ Compensation Insurance. If you are in California or Texas, AIS can accommodate any business type to find the correct coverage. If you’re outside California or Texas, AIS is still able to assist you.
Important Attributes About Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Business Insurance transfers the financial consequences of a covered incident to the insurance carrier. By law, if you have one or more employees, you need Workers’ Comp Insurance. Some states classify contractors as employees, requiring this coverage.
Therefore, any person working in your business that has to adhere to workplace rules must be protected with Workers’ Comp Insurance—even if you classify that person as a 1099 worker. Here are the types of coverages typically included in a Workers Compensation Insurance policy:
These coverages may apply to emergency care, follow-up treatment, rehabilitation, and transportation.
This coverage may pay for time-off recovery depending on your carrier and policy limits.
If a work-related injury results in permanent physical impairment that affects the employee’s ability to do certain tasks, this coverage may cover permanent disability payments.
An affected worker may need retraining or to change jobs or even professions after the injury or sickness. This coverage could pay for those costs.
A deceased worker’s dependents are usually the beneficiaries of a lump-sum payment designed to take care of final costs.
