What is Workers' Compensation Insurance?

Don't let on-the-job injuries or illnesses impact more than productivity.

Required in most states, Workers' Compensation Insurance provides you financial protection from work-related employee injuries and illnesses. Instead of having to defend yourself in court, you can use workers’ compensation insurance to pay for the costs resulting from an employee's job-related illness or injury. It does not provide coverage for non-work related injuries for deliberate or illegal acts.

Do Law Firms Need Workers' Compensation Insurance?

As businesses, most law firms need to carry Workers' Compensation Insurance. Most states have requirements, and not carrying this insurance can lead to fines and penalties. And significant ones at that.

To check your state's requirements, search on the internet for "workers' compensation requirements in my state." You can also use this resource provided by Findlaw.

If you have employees, your workers' compensation insurance can help:

  • Cover medical care and medical treatment for job-related injuries & illnesses
  • Replace most of an employee's lost wages for any time taken off from work to recover
  • Provide disability benefits
  • Give death benefits, like funeral cost assistance for loss of life due to a work accident or from a job-related illness
