Why Does Your Business Need Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

It’s simple: having workman’s compensation coverage is the law in most states. If you don’t have it, you face state fines and penalties—even if you never file a claim. You could also get stuck with unexpected costs you have to pay out of your own pocket.

Workers’ comp insurance gives your employees and their families peace of mind knowing they won’t have to pay for medical treatment or other injury-related expenses.

Find out what your state requires for workers’ compensation coverage.

What is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

Workers’ compensation insurance—commonly called “workers’ comp” or “workman’s comp”—is an often-mandatory type of insurance that protects both your employees and your company if an employee experiences an injury or disease while at work, including strains, trip and falls, or accidental death.

Determining the Cost of Workers’ Compensation

The average cost of workers’ compensation insurance per $100 in wages ranges from $.75 in Texas to $2.74 in Alaska. Workman’s comp insurance premiums are calculated based on the gross annual payroll you pay to employees. The more payroll expenses you have, the higher your workers’ comp insurance premiums. Workers’ comp insurance premiums are also influenced by: claims history, the requirements of your employees’ roles, the type of business you’re in, and state laws.

How do I Save Money on My Policy?

Our direct-to-you model allows us to provide insurance up to 20% less than other companies.

Understand Who Needs to be Covered

Many states require coverage for employees, but not for business owners or officers.

Review Your Coverage Annually

Periodically ensure your coverage is up-to-date with your business. For example, if you have expanded to a new state, prices and policy requirements may be different there.

Manage Your Risks

Create a safe working environment and also facilitate safety and employee training. Your claims history can affect pricing, so a safe business means paying less money over time. Check out biBERK’s Loss Control to learn more.

Add a Small Deductible

You will be billed for the deductible amount for each claim and non-payment will cancel the policy. Only available in some states.
