Occupational Accident

Two coverage options to protect independent contractor and owner-operators from work-related injuries

Independent contractors are vital to our economy, accounting for more than 7% of the U.S. workforce. 

Unlike payroll employees, independent contractors are ineligible for workers’ compensation. Without proper insurance coverage, these millions of workers are at risk, as are their employers. Occupational accident insurance exists to provide independent contractors and owner-operators versatile coverage for work-related injuries.

With Amwins Specialty Casualty Solutions’ Occupational Accident insurance program, there’s coverage to fit every need and budget. Decide which option is best for your client:
