...'cause they can get hurt
Florida chiropractors face unique challenges, from maintaining patient safety to managing active office environments. Workers' comp insurance protects your assistants and office staff, covering medical expenses and lost wages if injuries occur, so you can focus on providing care with peace of mind.
Workers' comp insurance provides protection to both the employer and the injured worker. Like other types of insurance, it’s there to help in the event of an incident.
If a worker gets hurt on the job, the insurance company will help pay for the costs associated with their care so the worker is provided for until they return to work.
Since the company had an active workers' comp policy, they are not responsible for paying the medical bills.
Here are the main categories for classifying injuries in the chiropractic industry. For more details, visit our guide: Workers’ Comp Class Codes for Chiropractors.
