Worker’s Compensation

Workman’s Comp Policies

Our Worker’s Compensation Insurance Policies are There to Protect Your Business’ Assets

Workers’ compensation insurance—commonly called workers’ comp—is an often-mandatory type of insurance that protects both your employees and your company if an employee experiences an injury or disease while at work.

Having a workers’ comp policy through Ford Insurance protects small-business owners if unexpected accidents happen, such as:

  • Strains or sprains
  • Broken bones
  • Trips and falls
  • Unsafe working conditions
  • Disease
  • Accidental death

Workers’ compensation insurance helps pay the bills related to a work-related injury, disease or death, including medical care and lost wages. In return, you’re protected as a business owner if other issues come up

Does My Virginia Business Need to Have Workman’s Compensation Insurance?

The short answer is yes.

Workers’ Compensation Virginia law requires that most employers carry workers’ compensation insurance in place to cover their workers in the event of a work injury.

Workman’s comp policies provide protection for both employers and employees.

For the employer, it shields the employer from a civil lawsuit. For the injured worker, it provides prompt but limited benefits.

When is a Virginia Employer Required to Have Workman’s Compensation Coverage?

Virginia law requires an employer who employs three or more part-time or full-time employees to have a Virginia workers’ compensation policy in place.

When a business hires a subcontractor to perform the same trade, business or occupation, or to fulfill a contract of the business, the subcontractor’s employees are included in determining the total number of employees.

For those employers required to have coverage, it is mandatory, there are no waivers and no exceptions.
