Highland, IN independent insurance agency
Review workers compensation with a Highland agency. We help you think through payroll, classifications, owner and officer status, subcontractors, and the premium audit before renewal pricing is set.

Payroll, classifications, and audits explained before renewal pricing is set.
Premium is built from payroll multiplied by a rate for each job classification. Duties that change, or employees placed in the wrong class, can mean a different premium or an audit adjustment.
Past claims influence an experience modification factor for many employers. Reporting claims promptly and having a safety program can matter at renewal.
Workers comp premiums are typically estimated at the start and trued up after the policy period based on actual payroll. Keep payroll records and subcontractor certificates organized for the audit.
Good to know
Indiana law generally requires employers with employees to provide workers compensation, subject to exceptions and exemptions. Because rules depend on the business structure and the workers involved, confirm your situation with us and, where needed, the state or an attorney.
Whether owners, partners, or officers are included or excluded depends on the business structure and applicable rules. It affects payroll and premium, so tell us how your business is organized.
Not necessarily. If a subcontractor is uninsured, a general contractor can be pulled into the exposure. Collect current certificates from subcontractors and check your contract requirements.
General liability covers injuries to the public. Workers compensation covers employees hurt on the job. One does not replace the other.
This gets you to an accurate estimate:
Our office at 3026 45th Street in Highland serves Highland, Hammond, Griffith, Schererville, Merrillville, Crown Point, Dyer, Munster, and nearby Northwest Indiana communities.
Many employers pair this with general liability. Tradespeople, see contractor insurance or the main business insurance page.
Coverage terms, exclusions, availability, and pricing vary by company and by risk, and not every company will quote every situation. This page is general information, not a policy or individualized advice.
