What is Employer's Liability #insurance #Policy? The Employers’ Liability policy serves to legally protect the employer in the event that an employee who sustains bodily injury by accident or disease (during the period of their employment) sues the employer for damages. This policy offers the employer cover against legal liability under common law for damages, negligence or statutory duty and any claimant’s or employee’s costs and expenses of litigation. IS EMPLOYER’S LIABILITY INSURANCE MANDATORY? In many countries, Employer's liability insurance is a legal requirement for businesses that employ staff. The requirement may vary depending on the country and the nature of the business. However, by its very nature of going through courts, employers are left with no choice, but to obey courts decisions and pay the awards. This alone should be an incentive for employers to purchase this cover. Since, with or without it, the awards must be paid. It, therefore, makes sense to the insurer as opposed to paying from the pocket. HOW DOES AN EMPLOYER'S #liability #insurance POLICY RELATE TO OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS POLICIES. 1. WORK INJURY BENEFITS ACT Work injury benefits insurance, also known as workers' compensation insurance, helps employers avoid claims under Employer's liability insurance policy by providing coverage for workplace injuries or illnesses. When an employee is injured or becomes ill as a result of their job, workers' compensation insurance can provide financial support for medical treatment, lost wages, and other expenses related to the injury or illness. By providing workers' compensation insurance coverage, employers can help to ensure that injured or ill employees receive the care and support they need, while also protecting themselves from legal liability. In most cases, workers' compensation insurance provides employees with compensation for medical expenses and lost wages, without the need for the employee to file a lawsuit against the employer. Workers' compensation insurance can also help to reduce the number of claims made under Employer's liability insurance policy, as it provides employees with an alternative means of compensation for workplace injuries or illnesses. This can help to lower insurance premiums and reduce the risk of legal action being taken against the employer. However, it is important to note that workers' compensation insurance does not cover all types of workplace injuries or illnesses, and it may not provide full compensation for all expenses related to an injury or illness. Employers should still take proactive steps to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses and should ensure that they have adequate insurance coverage in place to protect themselves and their employees in case of legal claims or lawsuits. In summary, If an employer has work injury benefits cover, the employee's need for legal redress may be greatly reduced or eliminated completely since this policy will pay injury benefits, take care of medical expenses, lost incomes, and disability benefits without the employee having to go to court. This helps retain and even improve the employer-employee relationship. 2. MEDICAL INSURANCE. Medical insurance can help employers avoid claims under Employer's liability insurance policy by providing coverage for medical expenses related to workplace injuries or illnesses. When employees have access to medical insurance, they can receive prompt and effective treatment for injuries or illnesses that occur at work. This can help to prevent minor injuries from turning into major claims and can reduce the likelihood of legal action being taken against the employer. In addition, when employees have medical insurance coverage, they may be less likely to file a claim under Employer's liability insurance policy, as they can receive compensation for medical expenses through their medical insurance plan. This can help to reduce the number of claims made against the employer and can lower the cost of insurance premiums over time. Employers can also help to avoid claims under Employer's liability insurance policy by implementing comprehensive health and safety policies and procedures, providing regular training for employees on workplace safety, and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment.
