Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Protecting California Healthcare Teams with Comprehensive Coverage
In the demanding world of healthcare, your staff is your greatest asset. From nurses and technicians to administrative employees, every team member plays a vital role in patient care. Unfortunately, workplace injuries and illnesses can occur — and without proper protection, they can create costly challenges for your practice.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance is a mandatory coverage in California that protects both employers and employees when a work-related injury or illness happens. It ensures your staff receives the care they need while safeguarding your business from legal and financial strain.
Common Risks in Healthcare Workplaces Include:
Injuries from lifting or moving patients
Exposure to infectious diseases
Slips, trips, or falls in clinical areas
Repetitive strain injuries from daily tasks
Accidental needle sticks or equipment hazards
With a customized Workers’ Compensation policy, your healthcare organization stays compliant and financially secure — even in the face of unexpected employee injuries.
