Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Coverage designed to protect employees and businesses when work-related injuries occur.

Workers’ compensation helps take care of employees who are hurt or become ill because of their job, and helps protect the business from related lawsuits. Most states require it once you have employees, and the rules vary by state.

What it can help cover

  • Medical care for covered work-related injuries or illnesses
  • A portion of lost wages while an employee recovers
  • Employer’s liability if you are sued over a workplace injury

What it typically doesn’t cover

  • Injuries to independent contractors who are properly classified
  • Injuries to customers or visitors (see General Liability)
  • Injuries that occur outside the course of employment

Every policy is different. Your actual coverage depends on the policy terms, limits and exclusions.
