What is Workers' Compensation Insurance?
Workers’ Compensation Insurance, often simply referred to as workers’ comp, provides benefits to employees who sustain injuries or illnesses as a direct result of their job.
With Univista’s support, you’re aligned with options that not only meet legal requirements but also reflect a genuine commitment to employee well-being.
What does Workers' Compensation Insurance cover?
This specialized insurance addresses several facets of workplace-related injuries and illnesses:
- Medical care: Covers the costs of medical treatment, from emergency services to ongoing rehabilitation.
- Lost wages: Compensates employees for wages lost during the time they’re unable to work due to their injury or illness.
- Rehabilitation: Provides for physical therapy or training required for an employee to return to work.
- Death benefits: In the unfortunate event of a workplace-related death, benefits are provided to the deceased’s dependents.
- Legal costs: Covers legal expenses if an employer is sued over a work-related injury or illness, although compliance with workers’ comp laws usually protects employers from such lawsuits.
It’s paramount to understand that…
While Workers’ Compensation provides a broad spectrum of coverages for job-related incidents, businesses may still need to explore additional policies for all-encompassing protection.
How much does Workers' Compensation Insurance cost?
The pricing for Workers’ Compensation Insurance can vary based on:
- Business type: High-risk industries, like construction, might incur higher premiums compared to office-based professions.
- Location: Rates can differ based on state laws and regulations.
- Claim history: Businesses with a record of numerous past claims might be subject to higher premiums.
- Safety practices: A robust safety program and training can potentially lower insurance costs.
- Number of employees: More employees often mean higher coverage costs, but bulk rates and discounts might also apply.
