Protection for your workers and your farm
Did you know that most insurance policies exclude payment for medical treatment for any injury related to a workers’ compensation claim or accident?
In the event of an unforeseen accident there’s a lot at stake for everyone involved. Who is going to pay for the medical bills if a worker is injured on the job? What type of financial hardship will this cause them or you? Do you want to deal with this issue or would you rather have an expert handle it? A workers’ compensation policy is one of the most important coverages you can provide for your workers.
At Rural Mutual Insurance, our highly experienced adjusters will walk you and the employee through the process step-by-step. From investigating the claim, to determining compensation, to effectively managing the disability and medical treatments of the employee. We also help you avoid complications before they become problems. With our safety and loss prevention services team, we will help your business reduce the potential for injuries, illnesses and property losses.
“Insurance is a tool in your toolbox. Make sure you have the right coverage.”
