Know Your Workers' Compensation Options. We Provide Expert Advice So You Make The Right Choice! Know Your Options.

Many business owners think the only option for their Workers' Compensation Insurance is through a state or assigned risk plan. Many are not aware of the other choices they have when it comes to buying this coverage.

Let's start with insurance companies that offer stand-a-lone, Workers Comp Policies. Usually, their rates are guaranteed for one year. Businesses pay a fixed, monthly premium. To bind coverage usually a 25% deposit is required. This deposit is required to be paid each policy year. Depending on the company, they may offer a pay-as-you-go payment plan. This is the main type of Workman's Comp Policy business owners purchase.

Another option, that few business owners know about, is a company that offers a payroll/workers' compensation plan. This plan, around for 24+ years, has several features designed to help Auto Services, contractors, limousine services, moving & storage agents, and local truckers and their employees. Note this is the ONLY program we know that's been in existence for 24+ years (it offers long-term coverage stability which we feel is important), and the payroll company owns their Workers Compensation Company. This allows them to insure riskier classes of business such as the ones mentioned above. This company has a separate division which allows them to offer all types of Contractors Insurance like Commercial General Liability, Commercial Umbrella Liability, and Business Auto Policies.

There are other payroll companies offering Workers Compensation Insurance. They have agreements with Insurance Companies and payment for coverage is usually deducted weekly or bi-weekly. Most of their companies are conservative with the types of businesses they'll insure. If you fall into a low-risk category like a florist or electrician, they'll have no problem insuring you. Some of their companies offer Competitive Insurance Rates. With others, their rates can be high. Some payroll services add fees on top of what they get paid from their insurance companies. BUYER BEWARE!

Finally, if you have poor loss experience and a high experience modification, making it difficult to get insurance, there are Professional Employer Organizations (PEO) that may come to your rescue! They couple Payroll Services with workers compensation. They are like payroll/WC plans but technically/legally are set up differently. One technicality is they are considered co-employers. This means they have a say over who you hire. Some plans offer the option to purchase Affordable Health Insurance. This is another way to "Skin a Cat" if you need Group Health Insurance. Rates are competitive. Provider networks are extensive.

Options When You Have These Problems

Depending on the work you do, you may be able to get quotes from several insurance companies or just one. For example, if you're an accountant's office, florist, plumber, or electrician, most carriers will offer you Workers Compensation Coverage. However, if you're a limousine service, trucker, or high-risk class contractor, only one or two carriers may offer coverage.

What if you have a poor loss experience? Usually, you have to go to a state or assigned risk plan. But what if you don't want to go through one? What if you previously had coverage with your state's plan, got canceled, and owe them money? Usually, unless you Pay Off The Balance they won't sell you a new policy. What if because of poor loss experience their rates are astronomical? What can YOU do?

Many businesses turn to BGES Group for help. Recently, we helped two contractors, each with over one million in losses, get coverage. Of course, the worst claims were from employees who no one witnessed getting injured, who immediately hired attorneys, who filed their claims NOT through their employer but directly with the Workers Compensation Board, one filing their claim 10 months after the date of the supposed accident. These people have no consciousness nor idea how they jeopardize their employer's existence and co-workers' livelihoods! Because we have "The Right Companies for Businesses with Poor Loss Experience," we got them coverage for Builders Risk Insurance! One employer, now every time an employee gets injured, hires a private investigator to investigate the claim. Within hours, a private investigator is looking into what happened. This investigator is quite shrewd. Are you a Cortland, NY employer whose having claim problems? Want to hire this P.I.? Call Gary Wallach at 866-925-1508 and get help.

What if you are about to be canceled due to an audit dispute? A lot of businesses come to us for help when they're having Adit Problems. Even though their audit is wrong, their company leaves them with two options, pay or be canceled. Usually, the amounts owed are not just a few dollars but thousands, tens of thousands of dollars. One employer can't get a new policy until they agree to pay off the balance the company says they owe, $41,000! Only after they sign an iron-clad, written agreement drawn up by this Insurance Company's Attorneys can they purchase new coverage. The only issue for the owner is he doesn't owe them money, the company may even owe him money. Have audit problems and are worried about being canceled? Call 866-925-1508 and get a "Plan B" in place now.

Work out of state? For example, you are a Cortland, NY contractor insured through a state plan. Most of your jobs are in the 5 boroughs but from time to time, you take jobs in Cortland, NY. These jobs last a few weeks to several months. For these jobs, you use employees who live in Cortland, NY. What happens if an employee gets hurt and seeks Medical Care in Cortland, NY? Think you have the right coverage? Think again. It's our opinion if an injury occurs, for example, a worker falls and suffers severe back injuries, you will be responsible for hundreds of thousands of dollars because your Insurance Carrier will deny coverage. So many contractors are clueless about this issue. BUYER BEWARE!

Recently we helped a Cortland, NY office-based contractor, who does all their work in Cortland, NY, get "The Right Coverage." They have workers that live in Cortland, NY. However, all their work is done in Cortland, NY. We cannot believe their Insurance Broker and the insurance company did not catch this mistake and advise them to purchase coverage with a company that covers Cortland, NY. One Bad Claim and they could have been on the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars! They are out of danger because we got them "The Right Coverage." We are looking into getting their money back from this carrier. We are talking about over $100,000! Think this can't be done? Have this problem contact us!
