Workers' Compensation Insurance
Required coverage that protects your employees after a workplace injury and protects you from the lawsuit.
In Arkansas, most businesses with three or more employees are required to carry workers' compensation insurance. It pays medical bills and a portion of lost wages when an employee is hurt on the job, and in exchange it shields your business from most injury lawsuits.
We help you classify your payroll correctly, keep your experience rating in check, and find a carrier that prices your industry fairly, because the wrong classification can cost you for years.
What Workers' Compensation Insurance typically covers
Medical Benefits
Covers the cost of treating a work-related injury or illness.
Lost Wages
Replaces a portion of income during a covered disability, after the statutory waiting period.
Employer's Liability
Protects your business against many injury-related lawsuits, the trade-off that makes the system work for owners.
Return-to-Work Support
Many carriers offer nurse case management, rehab coordination, and return-to-work resources to help injured employees recover and resume work.
Arkansas requirements
Arkansas generally requires workers' compensation once you have three or more employees, with some industry exceptions. We'll confirm where your business stands and make sure you're compliant. Penalties for going without are steep.

Common questions
Is workers' comp required in Arkansas?
Generally, yes. Arkansas requires coverage for most employers with three or more employees, though some industries and arrangements have exceptions. Going without when it's required exposes you to fines and personal liability. We'll confirm your specific obligation.
How is my premium calculated?
Mainly by your payroll, the job classifications of your employees, and your claims history (your 'experience mod'). Correct classification matters a lot. Misclassifying a worker can overcharge you or create a coverage gap. Getting it right is part of our job.
