Workers’ compensation coverage pays for medical care and physical rehabilitation of employees injured at work and helps to replace lost wages while they are unable to work. Additionally, this coverage protects an employer from being sued by an injured worker in most cases.
Workers’ Compensation insurance provides coverage for employees injured in the workplace or in the course of their employment. It pays for medical bills and lost wages as required by state law. The policy also provides Employers’ Liability insurance for any related suits that are permitted under state law.
Employers have a legal responsibility to their employees to make the workplace safe. However, accidents happen even when every reasonable safety measure has been taken. To protect employers from lawsuits resulting from workplace accidents and to provide medical care and compensation for lost income to employees hurt in workplace accidents. Workers compensation insurance covers workers injured on the job, whether they’re hurt on the workplace premises or elsewhere while still on the ‘clock’, or in auto accidents while on business.
