Workers Compensation

Workers compensation is a critical coverage designed to protect the employees of your business in case of an accident. If an employee is injured on the job, they may need assistance for their medical bills or wage replacement in case they are unable to immediately return to work.

What Does Workers Compensation Cover?
Workers compensation comes with various forms of coverage, including:
Medical Benefits
Medical benefits for workers compensation can help cover medical bills an employee may face after a workplace accident. If an employee is injured at work, workers compensation insurance can pay for medical benefits such as emergency medical care, doctor’s visits, surgeries, medical procedures and more.
Disability Benefits
Disability benefits cover expenses if an employee is rendered disabled due to a work-related injury. There are four sections of disabilities:
-
Partial temporary disability
-
Partial permanent disability
-
Total temporary disability
The compensation an employee may receive for a disability may depend on the severity of the injury. This insurance may also provide compensation for vocational disability in case the employee is unable to return to their previous injury due to a workplace injury.
Wage Replacement
After an employee is injured, they may not be able to work for a certain period of time. In these cases, workers compensation insurance will provide replacement for a portion of the employee’s wages for as long as they are unable to return to work.
