Our Worker’s Compensation Protection for Years To Come

Worker’s compensation coverage is intended to protect your employees in the case of a work-related injury or illness. The policy can replace a portion of an employee’s income from a compensable injury, provide legal protection for damages in work-related incidents, and pay for medical care to treat workers for compensable injuries. Policy costs are typically determined by the risk level jobs of your employees, your company’s overall safety record, and the risks associated with employment.

According to The Texas Department of Insurance, worker’s compensation costs are at the lowest in history! At The Nitsche Group, we are here to provide you a customized policy for your business. Call one of our representatives and we can provide you a quote!

What is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

Workers’ compensation insurance, also known as workman’s comp or workers’ comp, provides your employees benefits if they experience a work-related injury or illness. These benefits can help:

  • Cover their medical care
  • Replace most of their lost wages if they take time to recover
  • Provide disability benefits
  • Pay for their funeral if they lose their life

Workers’ comp insurance also has benefits for you, as a business owner. If your injured employee or their family sues your business, it can help cover your legal costs.

What information do I need to file a claim?

Before filing a claim, you’ll need to gather a lot of information. The actual information you’ll need can vary. Some general information an employer and employee may need to include when filing a claim includes:

  • Company information (account number and location, policy number)
  • Injured employee information (name, date of birth, address, phone number, Social Security number, age, gender, etc.)
  • Details of the incident (date of incident, type of injury, exact body part injured, the cause of injury, estimated number of days the employee will lose, anticipated return date, any witnesses, etc.)

Once the necessary information is collected, you should file the claim with your insurance company as soon as possible.

In the case of workplace injury, it is far more important to take a proactive rather than a reactive approach.  Not only can worker’s comp provide protection to the employer, but it can also allow the company to responsibly look after it’s employees.
