Worker's Compensation
Workers’ compensation insurance provides coverage for employee’s work related injuries or illnesses through payment of medical expenses, lost wages, disability and benefits for families in the event of a fatality. In most states, workers’ compensation insurance is mandatory. That does not mean, however, that carriers provide the same coverages, service, and price. Clarke & Sampson is here to help your business find the right fit.
Below is a list of the benefits provided by workers compensation policies. Coverage benefits are paid in accordance with state law and may vary by state. For details on which coverages apply to your business, please contact us at 703.683.6601.
