Workers’ compensation insurance policies from Zenith

Workers’ compensation insurance is instrumental in providing medical care and other benefits to workers who get injured while on the job. Zenith’s policies offer a no-fault insurance – which means that the worker who is justifiably injured while doing his job gets insurance benefits as determined by the law, regardless of who is at fault. Zenith offers three different types of policies: 1. Injuries or illnesses which are caused because of a certain work-related accident. 2. Injuries or illnesses which are directly linked to work or employment, but are caused over a period of time (by cumulative effect of work) 3. Occupational conditions (for example, exposure to toxic chemicals while on the job). Though workers’ compensation laws and rules depend on states, any business having employees must buy workers’ compensation insurance. Premium calculation The premium depends on the nature of a business and the claims history. Zenith’s insurance assumes that groups of businesses share the risk of loss. So, it slots a business into a business group and figures out the losses depending on workers’ exposure to risk in this industry or group. The rate is applied to every $100 of salary. Higher risks lead to higher losses, which lead to a higher premium. Factors affecting premiums Businesses can get lower premiums based on certain factors. For example, if a business’s claims history is muted as compared to other members in its business group, then its premium will be lower. Businesses can save on Zenith’s premiums by participating in state premium credit programs like Safety Credits Programs, Return-to-Work programs, etc.
