Workers' Compensation Insurance
To ensure you get the best coverage available, Hiscox has joined forces with EMPLOYERS® to offer outstanding workers’ compensation insurance. For nearly a century, EMPLOYERS has provided small businesses with cost-effective coverage for on-the-job illness and injury.
Workers’ compensation insurance covers businesses for their statutory and legal obligations for employee expenses that are a result of on-the-job injuries and/or illnesses.
Who needs workers’ compensation insurance?
Even if you are self employed, you should consider having some form of workers’ comp insurance.
It is important to note that every state but Texas legally requires businesses to have workers’ compensation insurance coverage, even if they only have one employee. However, even in Texas an estimated 70% of all businesses have workers’ compensation insurance in place, as they are still liable for the costs associated with on-the-job illness and injury.
Why choose an EMPLOYERS workers’ compensation insurance policy?
- Competitive pricing — minimum premiums in most states start at just $500
- Flexible payment plans — no installment fees if you spread out your payments.
- Fast and efficient claims handling — claims professionals initiate three-point contact between the injured worker, employer and doctors to help improve communications and control costs.
- A 24/7, multilingual claims reporting center — makes reporting claims easy and convenient.
- A large network of care facilities — EMPLOYERS can help you identify the most appropriate care center, ensuring you are prepared before the need arises.
- Effective loss control — free access to online tools such as Loss Control ConnectionSM, makes it easier to help your employees do safe work and practice accident prevention. The best way to prevent a claim is to stop it at its source.
- Antifraud programs — since 2003, EMPLOYERS' rigorous fraud-detection efforts have resulted in over $35 million in savings, helping control workers’ compensation insurance rates in your state.
- Financially strong — EMPLOYERS insurance companies are rated 'A-' (Excellent) by the A.M. Best Company.
