Workers compensation insurance protects your business when an employee is injured on the job. It covers medical expenses, lost wages, and employer liability exposure. In Louisiana, requirements depend on payroll, classification codes, and your business structure.
For construction businesses, workers compensation is often the most expensive policy you carry. Proper class code placement and payroll reporting are critical. We work with roofers, general contractors, concrete crews, painters, drywall installers, carpenters, flooring contractors, and remodeling businesses to structure workers compensation correctly and reduce audit surprises.
