Workers’ Compensation Insurance Care for Your Employees. Protect Your Business.

Provide vital support for injured employees while protecting your business from lawsuits and penalties

Overview

What Is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

Workers’ Compensation Insurance provides coverage for employee injuries or illnesses that happen as a result of their job. It pays for medical care, lost wages, and rehabilitation — and also shields your business from employee-related lawsuits.

Most states and countries require this coverage by law once you hire your first employee. Even if it’s not mandated yet, it’s one of the most essential protections a business can have.

A healthy workplace starts with the peace of mind that if something happens, your people and your business are covered.
