Worker's Compensation
A worker's compensation quote, also known as work compensation or workman's comp, provide covered workers with medical and wage replacement benefits that arise from workplace injury. The quote makes sure that an employee involved in an injury at work receives appropriate medical care, lost wages relating to the on-the-work injury, and, if necessary, retraining and rehabilitation, so as to be able to return to work after the injury occurs. Only workplace injury that arises from the normal course of business is compensable in the quote. Worker's comp quotes cover employees in case of work-related accidents. Most US states require worker's comp quotes for any employees, even part-timers. Some states only require companies with three or more employees to acquire worker's comp quotes. |
