Workers’ Comp vs. Employers’ Liability: What’s the Difference?
Workers’ comp pays statutory benefits to employees; employers’ liability addresses certain injury lawsuits against the employer.
The parts have distinct terms and limits.
Review Part Two limits, exclusions, state schedule, and endorsements in your quote. Ask which lawsuits it covers; the standard policy framework does not guarantee payment for every employee-injury claim.
