State laws place the economic burden of workers' occupational injuries on
company owners. Business owners are responsible for paying the medical,
disability and death benefits for any worker who is injured or killed as a
result of an accident on the job. That's why Workers Compensation
insurance is important to the very survival of your business.
Consider this: serious injuries usually mean high medical bills --- bills that many small businesses simply cannot afford to pay. Just one catastrophic workplace accident can force a company to shut down operations and file for bankruptcy. In most cases, companies are liable even when an injured worker has his or her own personal health insurance. This is because personal health insurance policies often specifically exclude injuries received on the job. Also, in many states, laws have been passed making it mandatory for employers to offer Workers Compensation Insurance as an option. These states want every business to pay a small yearly expense based on type of occupation and payroll, thus spreading the risk among the entire work force, and providing funds to pay for workers job-related injuries. Some states even have laws setting fines or prison terms for companies that don't comply with regulations related to Workmens Compensation. Be safe!
