Protect Your Workforce and Meet Statutory Obligations
Workers' Compensation Insurance, also known as Workmen's Compensation Insurance or WC Insurance, is designed to protect businesses against the financial and legal liabilities that arise when an employee suffers a work-related injury, contracts an occupational disease, becomes disabled, or loses their life due to an accident occurring during the course of employment.
Under the Employees' Compensation Act, 1923, employers are legally responsible for compensating employees and their dependents for workplace injuries, disabilities, and fatalities.
