How Much is this Kind of Company Insurance?

In most states, the cost of Workmans’ Comp insurance can vary between insurance companies as they compete for customers. Despite the variability, all insurance companies base Workers’ Compensation premiums on the amount of payroll an employer has as well as how dangerous the work is. Some larger employers will be impacted by their past claims experience with premium credits for low claim experience and increased premiums for those with more historical claims.

Workplace Safety/Workers Comp – Facts + Statistics:
