Employers liability insurance

While workers compensation insurance is a cornerstone of employee protection, it doesn’t cover everything. Employers liability insurance, often called “stop-gap” coverage, steps in to address gaps by covering claims not included in workers compensation.

Why choose IOA for employers liability insurance?

Employers liability insurance protects your business from lawsuits related to workplace injuries or illnesses, including claims for pain and suffering, loss of consortium, or third-party liabilities. It is often bundled with workers compensation but can also be purchased separately in certain jurisdictions. With IOA’s help, you can find coverage that aligns with your business needs and risk exposures.
