Workers Compensation

Workers Compensation in Iowa

Take Care of the Team That Takes Care of Your Iowa Business

Workers compensation helps your employees get medical care and replace lost wages after a job-related injury, so they can focus on recovering and you can keep your business running. It also protects your business from the cost of workplace injury claims. Unified Insurance Solutions in Clive helps employers find coverage that fits their payroll, industry, and growth plans.

Iowa Workers Compensation Requirements

Iowa requires most businesses with one or more employees to carry workers compensation insurance. The state does allow limited exemptions, such as certain agricultural and domestic workers, and sole proprietors, partners, and LLC members are not automatically covered. These rules can be complex, so we help you understand where your business stands and whether owners should be included on the policy.

How Workers Compensation Helps

  • Medical care for work-related injuries and illnesses, from doctor visits to surgery
  • Lost wages while an employee is unable to work during recovery
  • Rehabilitation to help employees return to their jobs
  • Death benefits for families after a fatal workplace accident
  • Employer's liability to help cover legal costs if an employee files a lawsuit

Managing Your Premium

Workers compensation premiums are based on your payroll, the type of work your employees do, and your claims history. Accurate job classifications and a strong safety program can help keep costs in check. We compare options from multiple carriers to find the right fit for a small office staff or a busy job site crew.

Workers compensation covers your employees, while General Liability Insurance covers injuries to customers and visitors. If your team drives for work, Commercial Auto Insurance can round out your protection. Explore our full range of Commercial Insurance to see what else fits.
