Premiums are based on industry classification, payroll, number of employees, claims history, business location, and workplace safety programs.
Coverage depends on state law and business structure. Owners, officers, partners, and LLC members may have the option to include or exclude themselves.
Ensure the employee receives medical care, report the injury promptly, notify your insurance carrier, complete required forms, and cooperate throughout the claims process.
