What Does Workers Compensation Cover?
If your covered employee is injured or becomes ill in a work-related incident, your company’s workers’ compensation insurance coverage helps pay for the following:

Workers’ compensation can also help cover your company’s legal liability for the incident. This list is not exhaustive and your policy may provide benefits in addition to those noted here.
When Do I Need Workers Compensation Insurance?
In many states, including North Carolina, workers’ compensation insurance is required for certain companies. According to the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act, any employer with three or more employees must get workers’ compensation insurance or prove that they qualify as self-insured employers.
Your agent can help you remain in compliance with your state’s rules and get the coverage you need to help protect your company’s financial future.
