WORKER’S COMPENSATION

Workers’ Compensation is a form of accident insurance paid by employers. If you’re injured on the job or acquire a work-related illness, workers’ comp will pay your medical expenses. And if you can’t work, it will also cover wage-loss compensation until you’re able to return to work.

PROPERTY & CASUALTY

Property insurance and casualty insurance (also known as P&C insurance) are types of coverage that help protect you and the property you work with. Casualty insurance includes liability coverage to help protect you if you’re found legally responsible for an accident that causes injuries to another person or damage to another person’s belongings.
