Types of Workers' Compensation
Coverage We Offer
Medical Expense Coverage
Medical expense coverage pays for the medical treatment of employees injured on the job, including emergency care, surgery, hospital stays, medications, and ongoing rehabilitation. There are no out-of-pocket costs to the injured employee for covered care.
Lost Wage Replacement
Lost wage replacement provides partial income to employees who cannot work while recovering from a job-related injury or illness. It typically pays a percentage of the employee's average weekly wage based on Nebraska state guidelines.
Disability Benefits
Disability benefits provide ongoing income to employees with temporary or permanent disabilities caused by a work-related injury. Coverage levels are determined by the severity of the injury and the employee's ability to return to work.
Vocational Rehabilitation
Vocational rehabilitation covers retraining, education, and job placement assistance for employees who cannot return to their previous role due to a work-related injury. It helps injured workers transition into roles that match their post-injury abilities.
Death Benefits
Death benefits provide compensation to the dependents of an employee who dies as a result of a work-related injury or illness. Benefits typically include funeral expenses and ongoing support for surviving family members.
Employer's Liability Coverage
Employer's liability coverage protects your business against lawsuits filed by employees, families, or third parties related to a workplace injury. It covers legal defense costs and settlements that fall outside standard workers' compensation benefits.

“I worked with an Agent by the name of Melody Derry and she was professional, polite, patient, knowledgeable, responsive and friendly in a professional manner. She was the only Insurance Agent that asked all the right questions she needed to get me thorough and timely quotes on my automobiles and home. I would recommend Melody to anyone who would ask me for a name of an Insurance Agent that I trust and would do a great job for them.”![]()

- FAQs
Questions,
Answered.
Everything Omaha clients ask most — in plain English. If you don’t see yours, our agents are a phone call away.
Is workers' compensation insurance required in Nebraska?
Yes. Nebraska law requires workers’ compensation insurance for nearly every business with one or more employees, whether full-time, part-time, or seasonal. There are limited exceptions for certain agricultural workers, household employees, and federal employees covered by separate programs.
How much does workers' compensation insurance cost in Omaha, NE?
Cost is based on your industry classification, total payroll, and claims history. Higher-risk industries like construction and manufacturing pay higher rates than office-based businesses. An OIS agent can run a free quote comparison across multiple carriers based on your specific business.
What happens if I don't carry workers' compensation in Nebraska?
Nebraska imposes significant penalties on businesses that fail to carry required workers’ compensation coverage, including fines, stop-work orders, and personal liability for the business owner if an employee is injured. Going without coverage is one of the most serious compliance risks a Nebraska business can take.
Are independent contractors covered under workers' compensation?
In most cases, no. True independent contractors are responsible for their own coverage. However, Nebraska law applies specific tests to determine whether a worker is genuinely an independent contractor or a misclassified employee — and misclassification can lead to retroactive penalties.
Can I bundle workers' compensation with my other business policies?
Yes. Workers’ compensation is often combined with general liability, commercial property, business auto, and other commercial coverages for multi-policy discounts and a single point of contact for all of your business insurance needs.
