EMPLOYER’S LIABILITY

Part II of the workers compensation policy is Employers Liability. This coverage protects the employer for those employees who are not covered by workers compensation and, therefore, can sue under common law alleging negligence on the part of the employer. Coverage is commonly for $1,000,000 and can be increased through the purchase of an umbrella liability policy. (See Workers Compensation).

Workers’ compensation insurance insures the employer against liability under state compensation laws.
