Reasons Why Workers Comp is Important

Peter Laczko Insurance Inc. serves Woodstock, GA and the surrounding area with various types of insurance including worker’s compensation insurance. We’re asked frequently if the insurance is necessary and how it can benefit a business. You should always think "what if" rather than "it won’t" in terms of serious events, especially ones involving your employees. 

1. It Protects Your Employees. 

Worker’s compensation insurance protects your employees. If one of them should happen to get hurt, it takes care of their medical bills and will even cover the expense of their lost wages while they’re off work. Ultimately, the insurance helps your employees get back to work sooner. 

2. It’s the Law.

In many states, you must have worker’s compensation insurance as long as you have one employee. Always talk to your insurance representative to determine your business’ legal worker’s compensation obligations. If your employees travel across state lines, you have to be particularly careful of your policy, so make sure you stress this fact when you speak to a representative. 

3. Protect Your Business and Assets 

This particular insurance protects your business from a lawsuit if an employee should happen to get hurt on the job. If any employee would get hurt on the job and you didn’t have any worker’s compensation insurance, you’re putting your business and assets at risk since you’ll owe the expense. 

4. Cheaper Than a Lawsuit

A lawsuit can get quite expensive quickly, especially when medical bills are involved. For a small premium, you’re able to save yourself money in the long run if an employee would happen to get hurt.
