Workers Compensation


Workers Compensation Information

Workers Compensation for Businesses and Employees Throughout Maryland

Employees are a crucial part of every single business. They are what make up your business’ core values, as well as the people who present the face of your business to current and potential clients. Keeping your employees safe is one of the most important duties of an employer, and one step toward doing so is to offer workers compensation.

The agents at Saratoga Insurance Brokers work hard to build relationships with each business owner so we can help you evaluate the risks your employees face and carefully plan for accidents. Our agents will help you find a policy that serves to protect your employees and your business in case of an accident, no matter how big or how small.

What Does Workers Compensation Insurance Cover?

Workers compensation primarily covers medical expenses — although there are other benefits available as well.

Medical Payments

Medical bills may cover everything from ambulance rides to emergency procedures, and doctor’s visits to exams and medical treatment. Compensation for an employee’s medical bills will be paid as they arise, and only for medical bills that are directly related to the workplace injury.

Disability Benefits

Disability benefits may be paid if a workplace injury causes the employee to be unable to work for a certain period. There are four sections of disabilities under workers compensation:

  • Partial temporary disability
  • Partial permanent disability
  • Total temporary disability
  • Total permanent disability

The amount of benefits and the times they are paid depend on the severity of the disability.

Wage Replacement

In the event an employee is no longer able to work due to a workplace injury, workers compensation can help replace a portion of the employee’s wages. This amount will be calculated based on the employee’s typical wage and will be paid on the same timeline as their normal paycheck would be paid.

Workers compensation can also cover your business in case of a lawsuit related to a workplace injury.
