Workers Compensation Insurance
Workers compensation insurance coverage can help to protect both you and your employees after a work-related injury or illness. For the employee, workers compensation provides medical care, lost wages and more. For the employer, workers compensation provides a sole remedy, avoiding expensive civil litigation.
