Workers’ Compensation
Protect the crew that does the hard work
Foundation repair is physically demanding and genuinely hazardous. Your crews work underground, in tight crawl spaces, and around heavy hydraulic equipment — conditions that produce more frequent and more severe injuries than lighter trades.
Workers’ compensation is legally required in nearly every state once you have employees. It protects your people and shields your business from the lawsuits, fines, and stop-work orders that follow an uninsured injury.
What this coverage includes
Medical Expenses
Pays for treatment when a crew member is injured on the job, from emergency care to rehabilitation.
Lost Wages
Replaces a portion of income while an injured worker recovers and cannot work.
Disability Benefits
Provides benefits for temporary or permanent disability resulting from a workplace injury.
Employer Liability
Defends your business against injury-related lawsuits brought by employees.
Real-world claim scenarios
