What is Worker's Compensation Insurance
And What Does it Cover?
Worker’s Compensation Insurance is a type of small business insurance that is mandatory in most states, and covers employees for work-related injuries. A typical "workers comp" insurance policy pays lost wages and medical expenses incurred due to a work-related accident, while also protecting the employer against accident-related lawsuits. See list below.

How Your Worker’s Compensation Experience Impacts Cost
For larger businesses, typically paying over $5,000 annually, an experience modification factor is applied to the policy that reflects the claims experience of the company. The lower the claims paid out by the insurance company, the lower the experience modification factor, which in turn lowers the overall annual premium. Some worker's compensation insurance companies offer a dividend plan that pays the small business insurance owner back a dividend if the company's claim experience is favorable.

And the Opioid Epidemic
The opioid overdose epidemic is having an adverse impact on workers compensation insurance costs.
According to one study, prescription opioid abuse cost employers over $25 billion in 2007. Another study has concluded that 60% of all injured workers who are prescribed opiods become addicted.

Other Medical Factors Driving Up Worker's Compensation Insurance Costs
Medical costs in general continue to rise not only due to inflation, but also because new technologies and new drugs are constantly being created and made available to hospitals and physicians to treat injuries. These advances can be quite costly, especially in the early stages while patents are in effect. It is not uncommon for a hospital to charge $1,000 for an emergency room visit, or $5,000 per day for an admitted patient. Surgery, if required, will drive costs much higher. Due to the capability for medical costs to quickly grow beyond the employer's financial resources, having adequate worker's compensation insurance is a must for every employer.
WARNING:
Don't Cheat on Worker's Compensation Costs
By Misclassifying Workers!
Some employers may be tempted to classify workers as independent contractors instead of employees in order to save on worker's compensation costs, but this is a dangerous gamble that risks incurring huge penalties.

Worker’s Compensation Insurance When Self-Employed
Self-employed individuals are usually exempt from carrying worker's compensation insurance unless they own a corporation. A corporation is a separate entity from an individual; therefore, WC insurance is required unless the owner is the only employee. If there are no employees except the owner of a corporation, the owner/president may elect to opt out such insurance by filing an "executive officer exclusion" form with the state.
Employer’s Liability Insurance
Worker's compensation insurance also includes Employer’s Liability Insurance, which covers an employer against lawsuits from employees due to negligence. An example of an insurance claim covered under employer’s liability insurance would be if an employee accidently cuts off his finger. The employee would be entitled to workers compensation insurance coverage for all medical expenses and lost wages. If the employee decides the employer was negligent for not fixing the slicing machine that he was using, and sues the employer for his loss of his finger, employer’s liability insurance would protect the employer.
Employer’s Liability Insurance Coverage Limits
Employers liability insurance coverage is usually written with separate limits for one employee injury, for total employee injuries, and for a total employee disease amount.
