Your Silent Partner for Worker’s Compensation Insurance
You may not think much about worker’s compensation insurance but it’s part of your essential commercial insurance policy. Worker’s compensation is required for companies in Kansas and Missouri. Aside from state regulations, you also want to be sure to protect your company’s liability. This is what worker’s compensation is about – protecting all parties when an employee is hurt on the job.
Maybe you don’t think your company need a strong worker’s compensation insurance. Let’s look at some of the reasons your worker’s compensation insurance needs to adequately cover you.
- Every office can suffer from injuries. Most accidents that lead to injuries are slip and fall. A wet floor, a box of copy paper not stored, environmental influences and more can expose even your indoor office to potential injuries and worker’s compensation claims.
- Claims can include pre-existing injuries. If a worker has a pre-existing injury that is aggravated by duties at work, this can become a worker’s compensation claim.
- You can’t anticipate injuries. We applaud companies that do safety training and keep a safe workplace. Unfortunately, you can’t anticipate the health and fitness of your employees or when an accident may happen. However, keeping a
safe record may help you save money on your worker’s compensation insurance.
