BUT THAT’LL NEVER HAPPEN TO ME
Workers compensation acts as an airbag for your Memphis business – Should trouble arise and a claim is made, your policy will “deploy” and compensate the employee whilst covering your assets and making sure that business can continue as regularly as possible. It minimizes the possible damage to your business, and you can work safely, assured that you will be safe in the event of a claim. Although we hope you will never have to use it, it is ALWAYS better to have IN CASE you do.
MY EMPLOYEES WOULD NEVER…
Unfortunately, people are all too willing to take even simple cases to court. This is especially true when they feel like they need to be personally compensated, or if they need MORE compensation that what they’re getting. Should you be sued by an employee over a claim, workers compensation can protect you if your business is found liable for causing the damage.
But what if it wasn’t your fault? Typically, “fault” doesn’t factor into these decisions. Each state has its own workers comp system and mandates that call for the compensation of employees injured or made ill in the workplace. Make sur that you are covered for your Memphis business by contacting Lofton Wells Insurance to learn more about Tennessee-specific coverage and mandates.
Workers' Compensation Insurance may cover:
- Medical bills for employees hurt or sickened at work.
- Ongoing care, including rehabilitation.
- Wages missed while recovering (often partial).

- Funeral expenses, if an employee is killed on the job.
- Death benefits to support the deceased's family.
It does not cover:
- Third-party lawsuits.
- Lawsuits over professional errors.
- Wages for a replacement worker.
- Parental leave benefits.
- OSHA penalties.
- Other State-specific restrictions.
WORRIED ABOUT THE OF WORKERS COMP INSURANCE COST?
Cost is always a major feature when purchasing any form of insurance, but cheaper does not always mean better. You may be purchasing coverage from Company A to save a few dollars, but the coverage from Company B, although it may be a little more expensive, will include many more of the features in your policy that could be your saving grace in the event of a claim. You may want to think about spending a few dollars a month now in order to save hundreds of dollars later.
