Find an AgentWho Needs Workers' Compensation Insurance?
In the state of New Jersey, most companies are required to have workers' compensation insurance. That includes corporations and LLCs with employees, as well as some partnerships. This is to ensure that employees who are injured on the job are covered for lost wages, medical expenses, or benefits payable to the employee's family in the event an injury results in death.
In New Jersey, Workers' Compensation covers:
- Necessary and reasonable medical treatment
- Ongoing medical care costs
- Lost wages resulting from a temporary disability
- Death benefits
- Compensation for a permanent partial or total disability
How Much Is Workers' Compensation Insurance?
Workers' compensation insurance premiums are calculated based on three primary factors: job classifications, annual payroll, and previous claim activity and experience. For example, a company whose employees perform work with a high risk of injury will pay more in workers' compensation insurance than one whose employees perform mainly desk work.
