While the majority of states require businesses to purchase Workers Compensation insurance to cover medical expenses and a portion of lost wages for employees who become injured or ill on the job, there are situations that Occupational Accident insurance can step in to protect both employer and employees. For example, in Texas and Oklahoma, an employer can opt out of the state’s Work Comp law and choose to purchase Occupational Accident insurance to fund the employer’s obligation to its employees. In some states, employers can assume part of the Workers Comp risk themselves, and can use Occupational Accident coverage to fund the assumed risk. Companies in the trucking industry also use Occupational Accident insurance to provide benefits to owner-operators who are not employees.
