Workers' Compensation Insurance

Workers' compensation requirements and benefits depend on the state and the work performed. A business should review its employee classifications, payroll, and actual operations with the appropriate licensed professionals and insurer.

What to discuss

  • Who is an employee
  • job duties and classifications
  • work in more than one state
  • medical and wage benefits under applicable law
  • employer liability
  • claim reporting and return-to-work process

Questions to bring

  • Have our duties or payroll changed?
  • Do we work across state lines?
  • How will staff report an injury promptly?

Reading the details

Before choosing a policy, confirm the business's legal name, covered operations, locations, property or vehicles, limits, deductibles, exclusions, contract requirements, and effective date. Ask how changes in the business should be reported. A certificate of insurance does not change policy terms.

The right policy depends on the business's facts and the terms an insurer offers. We can listen, explain the choices and limits, and help you decide what further information is needed for a proposal.
