Except for the state of Texas, U.S. businesses are required to provide workers compensation insurance to their employees. Most managers are familiar with these essential benefits for a job injury or illness: legal representation and lawsuit protection for the employer, medical service payments, temporary wages, reimbursement for any injury-related damage and a death benefit in the event of a fatality. Fortunately, many employers never need to disperse these benefits. However, several industries lead the pack in terms of occupations that account for a big chunk of workplace injury. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that about 33% of these incidents take place in the areas of truck transportation (tractor trailer and light), laborers and freight and construction, among others.
For managers in these industries, it is critical to find a reputable workers compensation insurance company that will go the extra mile in providing and implementing top-drawer programs in these niche markets. With clients throughout the nation and 20+ years of experience in transportation, towing, utilities, recycling, construction and crane & rigging, eMaxx can deliver these solutions. The team provides unparalleled service 24/7 to help business managers navigate the entire process.
Companies would be wise to think of insurance and workers compensation as savvy business measures which help circumvent the actual cost of employees’ medical expenses and lost wages after a workplace accident. Without this critical coverage, medical costs could cause irreversible financial damage and even bankruptcy. An experienced provider can also provide valuable loss control programs to decrease workers compensation claims and keep premiums to a manageable level. If the provider is proactive with claims management, employees can return to work quicker. All of this saves the company the financial stress associated with reduced productivity and the added cost of hiring temporary staff.
