What Does Workers Comp Insurance Cover?

Sponsored | 176 views

Workers compensation is required in Idaho Falls, ID and will cover expenses that are related to an employee’s work-related injury or illness. It can cover immediate costs, as well as long-term costs. There is also a portion that will cover legal fees if an employee is suing your organization.1. Medical Costs for Immediate Illnesses and Injuries: While a business should take every precaution to prevent illnesses and injuries, accidents can still happen. When an employee does get injured, an employer is usually responsible for covering the cost. Workers comp insurance can pay for the emergency room visit, ambulance ride, and other medical bills.2. Lost Wages: If an employee has an accident and he or she can’t work for a while, you may still be required to pay a portion of their missed wages when they are in recovery. This may also mean you still need to find, train, and pay for a temporary replacement worker. Missed work can be a huge expense, so workers comp can reduce this financial burden. When choosing a policy, you have the option of a fixed dollar mount or to cover a percentage of lost wages. Ask an agent at Insure It All to figure out what is best for your business.

Valued Policy Law and Total Loss

inredisputesblog | May 21, 2019

Typically, a fire insurance policy pays a policyholder for the actual cash value or the replacement value of the property destroyed. But in 20 states, if there is a total loss, the amount the insurer must pay is equal to the value of the property at the time the insurance policy was issued. What happens if the policy covers a multi-building complex and one of the buildings is destroyed? The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals recently addressed this issue. In Norwood-Redfield Apartments Limited Partnership v. American Family Mutual Ins. Co., No. 18-2618 (8th Cir. May 16, 2019)(Unpublished), the appeals court affirmed a judgment in favour of the insurance company denying the policyholder’s claim to recover the full value listed on the policy of an entire complex of buildings when only one of the buildings was destroyed. The policyholder sued its insurance carrier after a fire destroyed one of the buildings out of 32 in the complex. The insurance carrier paid nearly $3 million for the loss, but the policyholder wanted the policy limits of over $31 million.
