Workers Compensation

Gain Workers Comp Expertise with IRMI

Workers compensation laws exist in most states to ensure that injured employees receive proper medical care and a portion of lost wages. Most employers are required to carry workers compensation insurance, but states have different criteria as to acceptable financing options. Whatever method is chosen, it is imperative that those paying benefits stay on top of what states require, what they allow, and the prescribed benefits injured workers are owed.

IRMI is your trusted source for staying on top of issues that create exposures for employers, the coverage provided in standard policies, and emerging issues and changes in state statutes, exceptions, and benefit levels.
