What is Workers Compensation Insurance?
In short, Workers Compensation Insurance protects workers on the job who sustain injuries or illnesses due to a specific work accident or over a period of time. It is a mandated insurance policy in the state of California that provides income, medical benefits, and rehabilitative services to ensure your employees receive financial compensation for medical care and income they lose while they aren't able to come to work. A quality policy can also help protect your business from lawsuits.
How does Workers Compensation Insurance work?
When an employee is injured or becomes ill, a claim must be filed by the company where the employee works with approval from the injured party. An insurance policy provides benefits to the injured party, but it also helps prevent your business from paying for medical expenses and lost wages out of pocket.
How is Workers Compensation calculated?
Most of the time, benefits are paid based on an average weekly wage. It is also based on the type of injury or illness they have. However, even if an employee is totally disabled, they will only receive a percentage of their total weekly wages.
How much does workers comp cost?
The cost of Workers Compensation Insurance varies depending on multiple factors. For example, the more employees you have on payroll, the more costly your policy will be. Your past claims history can also impact your total cost. It is best to contact a DJM representative to receive an accurate estimate that’s based on your specific situation.
Why do employers fight workers comp claims?
The main reasons why an employer may dispute a claim include:
- Trying to prevent insurance premiums from increasing
- Discouraging other employees from being tempted to file their own claim
- Protecting the company's image
