Workers' Compensation Coverage Checklist

September 22, 2008 by Christopher J. Boggs, CPCU, ARM, ALCM

MyNewMarkets.com, over the last several weeks, has provided a series of articles exploring workers' compensation and employers' liability. Topics have included contractual risk transfer, the course and scope rule, injury gray areas, combinability, premium audits and many other work comp specific information.

Attached to this link is the workers' compensation and employers' liability coverage checklist for your use with your clients. A series of questions and some explanatory footnotes are included for use. The series of articles will be kept on www.mynewmarkets.com for a period of time should you desire clarification of any points in the checklist.

All terms in this glossary and the glossary itself is taken from the book "The Insurance Professional's Practical Guide to Workers' Compensation: From History through Audit." The book is available now to add to your insurance library.

I've worked in the insurance industry for almost 50 years, including periods as an underwriter, educator, agent and consultant. Of all the textbooks, reference sources, etc. that I have read on the subject of WC, these articles are by far the best I have ever encountered.

Congratulations and thanks for a job well done!!

Thank you for a well-thought out article on WC. It contains all an agent needs plus some more. It is well organized and well written. This is a very good resource for me.

Are the series of articles on this topic, from Sept. August 2008 still available on line?

Jayne,

Thank you for your question. No, the articles were removed and have been compiled into a book. In addition to the articles, laws for every state, first report of injury and other additional information was added to the book.

Additionally, we are running a Webinar series based on the book in October and November (you get a free copy of the book when you sign up).
