How to Find the Best Workers’ Comp Insurance

Workers’ compensation insurance provides benefits to your employees if they get a work-related injury or illness. The best workers’ compensation insurance helps pay for your employee’s medical expenses. It can also help replace some of their lost wages if they take time away to recover from a work-related injury or illness.
 
Most states require this type of business insurance. Employers need to review different workers’ compensation laws by state that detail which businesses need coverage. To make sure you’re following the laws in your state, you should consider buying workers’ compensation insurance from a:
 
  • State-run agency
  • Private insurance carrier
  • Monopolistic state agency, if applicable in your state
When you’re choosing your workers’ comp provider or insurance company, it’s important to know your state’s requirements.
 

Factors to Consider When Reviewing the Best Insurance Companies for Workers’ Compensation

Choosing the best insurance company for your workers’ comp policy depends on several factors. When you’re trying to find the best insurance company to work with, think about:
 

Cross-State Coverage Policies

best workers' compensation insuranceCross-state coverage can help protect your business if your employees work in another state. Workers’ compensation coverage from The Hartford allows you to extend coverage to another state if you provide notification within 30 days.
 
Your workers’ comp coverage may not include stop gap coverage if you’re in a monopolistic state, such as North Dakota, Ohio, Washington y Wyoming. Stop gap coverage protects employers from getting sued for work-related injuries and illnesses. If you’re not in a monopolistic state, your workers’ comp coverage likely includes stop gap coverage.
 

Flexible Payment Options

When you get a workers’ comp policy, you’ll have to pay a premium, also known as your cost for insurance. We offer small business owners two options to pay their small business workers’ comp costs:
 
  • Annual payments
  • Pay as you go
Pay-as-you-go workers’ compensation lets you make monthly payments for your workers’ comp coverage which can be a great option for new businesses that don’t have enough cash on hand to make one large payment. It also lets you consolidate your workers’ comp payment with other insurance payments. Click the image below to check out an infographic.
