General Liability
Protecting your business against claims made by others.
Casualty insurance consists primarily of liability coverages, which protect an insured party against injury or damage claims made by other parties.
Policies provide coverage for liability arising out of:
- + The Business’ Premises and operation
- + Damage to Premises you rent or Lease such as fire damage liability
- + Personal and advertising injury
- + Medical payments to others
- + Products/completed operations
You may want to consider a business owners package which combines your liability, property and other types of coverage into one comprehensive policy, which can help you save time and money on your total insurance program. And since we live in an age of million-dollar lawsuits, you may also want to add extra liability protection in the form of a commercial umbrella policy. We can tell you more about these plans and if they make sense for you.

Workers Compensation
Protecting your business against employee injuries in the workplace.
Workers’ compensation insurance premiums can be costly for employers. The real cost of a workers comp injury includes direct and indirect costs.
- + Direct costs are made up of medical expenses, costs for legal services, indemnity payments, and rehabilitation.
- + Indirect costs of workplace injuries are more damaging, they are not covered by your workers’compensation policy and they come out of your bottom line. Some examples of indirect costs are training replacement employees, accident investigation, repairs to damaged property or equipment, and even poor community relations or an injured business reputation.
The Cost of Claims Calculator can help you determine the direct and indirect costs of on the job injuries: Cost of Claims Calculator.
A simple cost calculator puts both costs into perspective. The average work related injury results in $25,000 in direct costs will have indirect costs of $27,500 based on industry studies. A company with a 4% profit margin would need to make nearly $1.3 million in additional revenue in order to offset the direct and indirect costs of just one injury. This is important information your managers and supervisors need to understand. At Perkins Insurance we can provide this valuable work comp training.
A particularly helpful tool employers can use to estimate the cost of an injury in the workplace is the Safety Pays worksheet provided by OSHA. The worksheet allows you to select a type of injury from the drop down menu, enter your profit margin and the number of injuries.
When it comes to protecting your business against employee injuries our team of professionals can provide a number of solutions to help you prevent employee injuries, mitigate employee’s lost time due to injury and minimize the impact to your business as a result of employee injuries, helping to lower your workers comp cost.
