Workers’ Compensation

Regardless of the safety programs and precautions you put in place, there will always be a risk of injury and illness in the workplace. Worker’s compensation insurance can help provide coverage if one of your employees has a work-related injury or illness. Without coverage, you could face paying the medical costs out-of-pocket for your employees and even risk facing legal charges if such coverage is required by state law. At Ed Weeren Insurance Agency, Inc., we want to help keep you and your employees safe by properly insuring your business.  

How Does Workers’ Compensation Work?  man filing workers compensation form
Workers’ compensation help protects you and your employees. Coverage is required in most states but varies from state to state. A workers’ compensation policy provides coverage for the following:  

  • Medical treatment
  • Lost wages
  • Death benefits
  • Disability benefits
  • Vocational rehabilitation 


If an employee is injured or sick, they should report it promptly to file a workers’ compensation claim. Once the claim is filed, the insurance company will review the claim to see whether they will accept it or deny it. Once the claim is approved, the care will be covered. There are certain situations in which coverage will not be provided to an employee, including:  

  • If your injury or illness is not work-related
  • If you sustain injuries in a car accident during your commute to and from work
  • You intentionally hurt yourself 

Workers’ compensation insurance does not cover every injury or illness, so be sure to connect with an agent if you have questions about what should be filed as a claim under your policy.  

How Much Does Workers’ Compensation Insurance Cost? 
The employer pays workers’ compensation insurance provided to the employee. The cost of worker’s compensation insurance varies but is determined by the following factors:  

  • The industry your business is in
  • The number of employees you have
  • The size of your payroll
  • Claims history
