An injury at a job site isn’t a single, straightforward insurance question. Whether it’s covered, and which policy responds, depends heavily on who was injured and what they were doing at the time. K.P. Insurance Group regularly helps Marion-area business owners sort through exactly this distinction.<\/p>\n
This is where workers’ compensation comes in. Indiana requires most employers to carry workers’ comp coverage, and it generally applies regardless of where the injury happens, whether that’s your main business location or a remote job site. This coverage addresses medical expenses and lost wages for the injured employee.<\/p>\n
If a customer, visitor, or someone unrelated to your business is injured at a job site, general liability insurance is typically what responds instead. This covers your business’s liability if you’re found responsible for the injury, a different category of protection than workers’ comp.<\/p>\n
This is where things get more complicated. Depending on your contracts and how the subcontractor is set up, liability could fall to their own workers’ comp policy, your general liability policy, or some combination depending on the specific circumstances of the injury.<\/p>\n
If your business regularly sends employees or works with subcontractors at job sites away from your main location, it’s worth confirming both your workers’ compensation and general liability coverage reflect that reality. K.P. Insurance Group helps Marion-area businesses review exactly how their coverage responds across different job site scenarios. Reach out through K.P.
