Workers’ Compensation Insurance from EMPLOYERS
What is workers’ compensation insurance and how does it work?
Workers’ compensation insurance is a strategic investment that protects business owners, as well as a business’ most important asset: its employees, in the event of a work-related illness or injury.
Also referred to as workers’ comp insurance or workman’s comp, workers’ compensation insurance covers all reasonable and necessary medical treatment and lost wages for employees who get injured in the course and scope of their employment or experience an occupational disease. The benefits for employees and employers vary from state to state.
Employee Benefits
Workers’ comp benefits include employee compensation for lost wages, medical treatment, and death benefits payable to the dependents of workers killed in the course of employment. These benefits also help cover expenses related to ongoing medical treatment like follow-up appointments or a physical therapy regimen. However, these policies generally do not include damages for pain and suffering or punitive damages for employer negligence.
Employer Benefits
Workers’ compensation insurance helps protect employers from potential lawsuits. Some workers’ compensation carriers also provide value added benefits such as fraud prevention support, workplace safety tools, and managed care services, which can help injured workers experience minimal downtime.
