What is Occupational Accident Insurance
At its core, Occupational Accident Insurance is a policy that benefits independent contractors and employees not covered under workers compensations. If an employer refuses to provide workers compensation, they still have to find a way to provide legal obligation to their employees who suffer injury or death on the job. This is made possible through OAI which gives the employer the means to fund this obligation at a lower cost than a workers compensation policy.
