West Virginia, home to more than 100,000 small businesses employing more than 200,000 employees, requires most employers that have at least three employees to provide workers’ comp coverage (SBA).
Workers’ comp coverage provides full medical benefits for care required to treat occupational disease or work-related injury, including doctor and hospital visits, nursing care, prescriptions, medical equipment, travel to and from medical appointments, and physical and vocational rehabilitation. In West Virginia, there’s no cap on the amount covered.
Employees can receive workers’ compensation benefits if the injury occurred as the result of a work-related accident. Employees who develop illnesses related to their type of job, called “occupational diseases,” are also entitled to benefits.
West Virginia workers can choose their own physician for workers’ comp care, at least for the initial visit.
Pie Insurance is proud to provide workers’ compensation insurance to West Virginia’s small businesses.
