Required Commercial Insurance
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
This type of insurance pays for the medical bills and other expenses such as lost wages for employees who are injured while working or who contract a work-related illness. It also pays disability benefits when necessary. This type of insurance is important for protecting your business from these expenses after an accident. It’s also important for employees to know that it’s there in case an accident should happen. In New York, if you have any number of employees working any hours, even part-time, you must have this insurance for those employees.
