Workers Compensation Insurance
When an employee contracts a disease, is injured, or becomes disabled while on the job, the business owner may be liable for the employee’s lost wages or medical expenses. Worker’s compensation insurance can provide affordable protection from worker’s compensation claims and reimburse employees for lost wages and medical care.
Workers compensation in California is based on a ratings system known as the Workers’ Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau of California, or WCIRB. The WCIRB has more than 400 member companies, all of which are licensed to administer worker’s compensation insurance in the state.
