What is workers’ compensation insurance?

Workers’ compensation steps in for businesses and employees when a work-related injury or illness happens. It pays for medical care and lost wages so employees can recover — and it shields your business from costly lawsuits.

Frequently asked questions

Who needs workers’ compensation insurance?

In most states, any business with one or more employees — full-time or part-time — must carry workers’ comp. Requirements vary by state and industry, so check your state’s rules or ask one of our agents.

How much does workers’ compensation insurance cost?

Premiums depend on your payroll, industry classification codes, claims history and state. Small businesses often pay less than they expect — a free quote is the fastest way to know.

What are the benefits of workers’ compensation insurance?

It covers medical bills, lost wages and rehabilitation for injured employees, and it protects your business from most injury-related lawsuits.

What happens if I don’t carry workers’ comp?

Penalties can include heavy fines, stop-work orders, and personal liability for an injured employee’s medical costs and lost wages.

Are independent contractors covered?

Generally no — true independent contractors are not covered under your policy. Misclassifying employees as contractors can lead to penalties, so review each worker’s status carefully.

How long do workers’ comp benefits last?

It depends on the injury and your state’s laws. Benefits usually continue until the employee recovers and returns to work, or reaches maximum medical improvement.
