Worker's’ Compensation Insurance

Protect your team — and your business — when the unexpected happens.

Even in the safest workplaces, accidents can happen. Workers’ compensation insurance helps protect your employees and your business when a job-related injury or illness occurs.

It can cover medical care, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs — helping employees recover while protecting your business from lawsuits, fines, and penalties.

What is workers’ compensation?

Workers’ compensation (often called “workers’ comp”) is a no-fault insurance program that provides benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. In return, it helps protect employers from lawsuits related to those incidents.

In California, workers’ comp coverage is legally required for any business with at least one employee — even part-time.

What’s not covered?

Workers’ compensation typically does not cover:

  • Injuries suffered while an employee is off the clock or not performing job duties

  • Intentional or self-inflicted injuries

  • Incidents involving drug or alcohol use on the job

What does it cover?

If an employee is injured or becomes ill due to their job, workers’ compensation can help pay for:

  • Medical care and treatment

  • Partial wage replacement while they recover

  • Physical therapy or rehabilitation services

  • Permanent disability benefits, if applicable

Common workplace injuries include lifting-related injuries, slips and falls, and repetitive motion conditions.

How much does it cost?

The cost of workers’ compensation insurance depends on several factors:

  • Industry classification — Some jobs carry higher risk than others

  • Payroll and number of employees — More payroll typically means higher premiums

  • Claims history — Businesses with fewer past claims may qualify for lower rates
