Workers Compensation is Assurance for Employer & Employee Alike
If you’re a business owner, it’s important to have the appropriate insurance protections in place if an employee is injured on the job. Trying to obtain workers compensation coverage after the fact simply will not work. In other words, you need to be covered in advance. That’s exactly what a proper workers compensation policy does: It ensures that an injured worker's medical and financial needs are taken care of when accidents happen.
What is Workers Comp? Who Needs It?
Workers compensation insurance spreads and shifts the risk for on-the-job employee injuries from employers to insurance providers.

Business owners can breathe easier knowing employees will be properly cared for if an accident happens without posing a threat to the company’s profitability or to its solvency.

When Should I carry Workers Compensation Insurance?
In terms of required coverage, Mississippi workers compensation law provides business owners with greater flexibility compared to other states. However, even if you're not legally required to carry workers compensation, OakTrust Insurance recommends it. If an employee sustains an on-the-job injury, responsibility for related medical payments and lost wages will ultimately fall on you, the business owner.
