Workers&rsquo; comp policies can help employees receive a portion of their lost wages if they are injured on the job, too. Whether employees can file a claim depends on the type of coverage and the incident.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#434343\">Worker&rsquo;s Compensation<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Employees injured on the job can file a claim for a worker&rsquo;s compensation claim if they are injured on the job. However, it&rsquo;s up to the employer to ensure the policy provider is notified of the incident and claim. Typically, the employer and the employee must work together to file a claim.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#434343\">Liability Coverage<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Employees may be involved in filing claims under liability insurance policies. These policies typically cover lawsuits against an employer, such as wrongful termination claims. However, the employee doesn&rsquo;t contact the company and file a claim. Instead, they would sue the employer, and then the policy would help cover the settlement or judgment amount. A representative here at Noyes Hall &amp; Allen Insurance can help you learn more.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size:13.999999999999998pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#434343\">Other Covered Perils<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">Most other covered perils pertain to the employer or the company, not the employee. For example, they would file a claim if something happened to the building because they have a policy on it. They would also file claims for auto policies, including damage from covered perils such as fire, lightning, and theft.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">These claims typically require the policyholder to file a claim, just as a homeowner would if something happens to their home.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#000000\">It makes sense that employees would file a claim in certain instances, but that&rsquo;s not always the case.
