Occupational accident coverage

Occupational accident coverage is a type of insurance policy that provides benefits to Owner operators who are injured while performing job-related duties. It is generally purchased by Owner operators to protect themselves and cover the costs associated with workplace injuries.

The coverage typically provides benefits for a wide range of work-related accidents and injuries, including accidental death, dismemberment, and disability. It may also cover medical expenses, such as hospitalization, surgery, and rehabilitation, as well as lost wages and other related costs.

Occupational accident coverage is different from workers’ compensation insurance, which is mandated by law in most states and provides benefits to employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job. While occupational accident coverage is not required by law, it can provide additional protection for Independant contractors & Owner operators and may be a valuable benefit for those who work in high-risk or hazardous occupations.

It’s important to note that occupational accident coverage typically has limitations and exclusions, so it’s important to read the policy carefully and understand the terms and conditions of the coverage. If you have questions or concerns about occupational accident coverage, you should speak with your employer or an insurance professional.
