How It Works

A risk assessment typically involves identifying potential risks, evaluating their likelihood and potential impact, and prioritizing them based on severity. This helps organizations focus on the most critical risks first.
Risk management strategies include mitigation, transfer, and avoidance. Mitigation involves reducing the likelihood or impact of a risk, while transfer involves passing the risk to someone else, such as through insurance. Avoidance means completely eliminating the risk.
Effective risk management involves ongoing monitoring and review to ensure that risks are being managed effectively. This involves regularly reviewing risk assessments and updating them as necessary.
By implementing a risk management plan, organizations can reduce the likelihood of unexpected events and minimize their impact. This helps to protect assets, reputation, and bottom line.

Importance of Insurance

Insurance provides a financial safety net for unexpected events, such as accidents or illnesses. This can help alleviate financial stress and allow individuals to focus on recovery.
Accident insurance pays benefits directly to policyholders, which they can use for various expenses, including medical bills, household bills, food, gas, and co-pays. This can be especially helpful for small business owners who often have to handle these expenses on their own.
Independent workers and small business owners typically have more freedom in their work, but they also miss out on benefits like PTO and worker's compensation. As a result, they may receive medical bills to pay for treatment or care.
Accident insurance can help ease the financial stress of medical expenses, allowing individuals to focus on improving their situation. By providing financial support, accident insurance can be a valuable resource for those who need it most.

Commonly Asked Insurance Questions
Individual and group plans have their own set of advantages. Individual plans are employee-owned and portable, so employees can keep their policies if they change jobs.
One of the benefits of individual plans is that they are guaranteed renewable in most states, meaning rates stay stable. They also don't have participation requirements or account-level rate increases.

Group plans, on the other hand, are employer-owned and provide benefits to all eligible employees across state lines. They also offer flexible underwriting, which can make it easier for employees to qualify for coverage options.
But group plans can experience group-level rate increases, and employees may face higher rates if they port or convert their policies. Minimum participation requirements are also common in group plans.
Accident insurance provides a benefit directly to employees if they're injured, whether on or off the job, and need treatment. The amount payable depends on the injury and the treatment received, usually a set amount for specific covered injuries or care.
