Workers Compensation Insurance
Workers Compensation Insurance
If an employee is injured while on the job, employers can be protected by carrying workers’ compensation coverage. It is common to get workers’ compensation coverage because general liability does not cover injuries happen to you, your employees or independent contractors while on the job. Injuries include a dog bite, occupational diseases caused by employment such as carpel tunnel or rabies and employer’s liability that is excluded from employment
Workers Comp Coverage and Claim Example
