Workers Comp 101

 

Ok, so you’ve heard about it, you’ve read about it, and friends have told you their war stories. 

And now – you’re responsible for your company’s own Workers Compensation program. What

do you do?

 

First of all, don’t panic. You’re not alone.  Every Massachusetts employer is required to provide

Workers Compensation coverage for their employees. It’s a mainstay of business and protects

employees and employers alike. However, Workers Compensation claims can become costly

quickly if you don’t know what to watch out for. But, if you understand how the system works,

you can take advantage of simple ways to reduce Workers Compensation costs. The two most

important things to keep in mind in keeping costs down are first, to do everything possible

upfront to avoid injury claims; and second, to process claims as quickly as possible. At Telamon,

we can partner with you in setting up and managing your Workers Compensation program, much

like we do for our client Kingdom Kare. Our seasoned experts can help you assess the risks

pertinent to your company; and help you build a custom, measurable plan; manage claims

efficiently; prevent accidents and conduct financial analysis to assess your effectiveness. To

learn more about how to avoid costly Workers Compensation claims and to better understand

coverage that is right for you, Ask An Adjuster or contact Greg Susco at Telamon today.
