Workers' Compensation Insurance · New York

Protect Your Employees. Protect Your Business.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance is legally required for nearly every business in New York with one or more employees. It protects your workers when they’re injured on the job — and protects your business from costly lawsuits and out-of-pocket expenses. At Dora Brokerage Inc., we make Workers’ Comp simple, affordable, and stress-free.

What Does Workers' Compensation Insurance Cover?

When an employee is injured or becomes ill due to their job, Workers’ Compensation steps in to cover the costs — so neither your employee nor your business suffers financially.

Medical Expenses → Covers doctor visits, hospital care, medications, physical therapy, surgery and all rehabilitation costs related to a work-related injury or illness
Lost Wages / Disability Benefits → Replaces a portion of the employee’s income while they are recovering and unable to return to work
Permanent Disability Benefits → Provides compensation if an employee suffers a long-term or permanent disability as a result of a workplace injury
Death Benefits → Provides financial support and income replacement for the employee’s family in the event of a fatal workplace accident
Employer Liability Protection → Shields your business from employee lawsuits related to workplace injuries — covering legal defense costs and settlements

Why It's Important

Why Workers’ Compensation Is Not Optional for NYC Businesses

Why It Matters

In New York State, Workers’ Compensation is not just a best practice — it is the law. Businesses that fail to carry proper coverage face serious consequences including heavy fines, stop-work orders, and potential criminal charges. Beyond legal compliance, it shows your employees that you value and protect them.

Legal Compliance → Avoid fines, penalties, stop-work orders and criminal liability under New York State law
Employee Protection → Demonstrates a genuine commitment to your team’s safety and well-being on the job
Financial Security → Prevents devastating out-of-pocket expenses from workplace injury claims
Business Continuity → Helps your business recover quickly and keep operating after a workplace incident
Peace of Mind → Know that when accidents happen unexpectedly, you and your employees are fully covered

How Premiums Are Calculated

How Is Your Workers’ Compensation Premium Calculated?

Understanding Your Cost

Workers’ Compensation costs vary from business to business. As your broker, Dora Brokerage works with multiple carriers to find the most competitive rate for your specific situation. Here’s what determines your premium:

Type of Business & Industry Risk → Higher-risk industries like construction pay more than low-risk office-based businesses
Payroll Size → Your premium is calculated as a rate per $100 of payroll — the larger the payroll, the higher the premium
Employee Job Classifications → Different job roles carry different risk levels — a driver pays a different rate than a clerical worker
Claims History (Experience Modifier) → Businesses with fewer past claims earn lower rates — a clean record saves you money
State-Specific Regulations → New York State has its own rules, classifications and rate structures that affect your cost
Number of Employees → More employees generally means higher exposure and higher premium
