What is Workers' Compensation Insurance?

Workers' compensation insurance, also known as workers' comp or workers' comp, provides benefits to your employees in the event that they are injured or become ill on the job. These benefits can help:
  • Covering their medical care and treatment
  • Replace most of their lost wages if they take time off work to recover
  • Disability pension provision
  • Provide death benefits, such as help to pay for funeral expenses if they lose their life in a work-related accident or work-related illness
  • The workers comp has benefits for you, the small business owner, too. Includes liability insurance. Therefore, if your business faces lawsuits from injured workers or their families, workers comp can help pay your legal fees.

How does workers compensation work?

Workers' compensation protects employees. If one of your employees is injured on the job or becomes ill on the job, workers' compensation provides benefits to help them recover. It can help protect your workers if:
  • A flight of stairs in your office
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome caused by bad typing habits
  • You will be injured in a car accident while visiting a client
  • It can also help pay for training your employees for new roles if they can't return to their old roles. And if they can't return to work at all, workers' compensation coverage can provide long-term disability benefits.
Know that most states require employers to cover workers' compensation. Laws vary by state and may include exemptions for certain types of employees. For example, workers classified as federal employees receive coverage through a program administered by the Department of Labor.
