This type of insurance policy covers business owners financially when they are liable to pay for damages to an employee after an accident that occurred during the course of the business day. Damages include injury, illness or death of a person employed and in contract with the business owner. The incident must be reported to the insurance company as close to its time of occurrence as possible in order to minimise the risk of an invalid claim.
