About workers' compensation
Workers' comp is statutory: states set the rules, and employers buy a policy that meets them. It pays medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation for an injured employee, and shields the employer from most employment-injury lawsuits.
What this policy responds to
The core exposures this coverage line responds to.
Medical care for work-related injuries and illness
Lost-wage replacement and disability benefits
Vocational rehabilitation
Employer's liability for related lawsuits
Typical operators on this line
Who we most often place this coverage for.
Employers with staff in nearly every state
Contractors required to show coverage on a job
Businesses where a client or state mandates it
What this policy does not cover
Common gaps clients assume are included. These usually need a separate line or an endorsement.
Injuries to independent contractors (who need their own)
Claims where an employee was intoxicated or self-harmed
General third-party liability (that is GL)
What drives the cost
Underwriters price this line on your specifics, not a flat rate. These are the factors that move a premium up or down.
Payroll and the job classifications of your staff
Your experience modification (claims history)
States of operation and their rates
Safety programs and return-to-work practices

How we use AI
AI helps our insurance team work faster. Our specialists still own every call.
For Workers' Compensation filings, AI helps our team find the right starting point quickly and reuse data you have already given us, so the work moves without extra effort from you. A licensed Cornerstone specialist reviews everything before it leaves our hands. Your information stays on our infrastructure, not in a public LLM.
On Our Infrastructure
Our models run on Cornerstone servers, not public chatbots. Your business information is not sent to a third-party LLM or used to train anyone else's product.
An Assistant, Not an Operator
AI helps our insurance team start their research in the right place and surface the resources to look at. Specialists vet what comes back and make the call.
Less Duplicate Work for You
Atlas figures out what data each form needs, then reuses what you have already given us so the same question does not come around twice. That is how approvals come faster.
