As a business person, you know that one of your most important
assets is your people. So when a key employee suffers a work-related
injury or illness, you feel it - not only in your concern for the
individual's well-being - but also through indirect costs, such as lost
productivity. Ultimately, employee injuries can impact your insurance
premiums and your profitability.
When it comes to purchasing workers' compensation insurance, you
need a carrier that has the capabilities to address these indirect costs by
helping you get injured employees back to work as quickly as is
medically appropriate - and assist you in preventing workplace injuries
and illnesses.
You can expect that and more from The Hartford. As one of the 10
largest workers' compensation providers in the nation, The Hartford
offers a nationwide presence and expert assistance in handling your
claims.
Only a nationwide carrier like The Hartford can cover your statutory
workers' compensation obligation in every state where private carriers
are permitted to provide this coverage.
In addition, The Hartford offers a unique broad form endorsement
designed to protect you from any unpleasant surprises should you
incur certain unknown and unanticipated exposures not covered by the
standard workers' compensation contract. Because not every insured's
needs are the same, we offer two versions of this endorsement.
Workers' Compensation
Our basic option is offered at no additional charge and includes:
- Reimbursement for your reasonable expenses, including loss
of earning, incurred on our behalf in connection with a claim,
proceeding or suit we defend.
- Employer's liability stopgap for all states where workers'
compensation is provided by a monopolistic state fund.
- Voluntary compensation for your employees who are not
covered by state statute.
- Sixty day - versus the industry standard of 30 days - to notify
us to add states where you have newly set up operations
- Fifteen days - versus the industry standard of 10 days - to notify
you in the event we cancel the policy.

Our extended option is available for a small additional charge and
includes all of the enhancements offered in our basic option, plus:
- Increased limits for employers' liability insurance.
- Waiver of our right to recover from other parties liable for
an injury to your workers in those instances where you
have signed an agreement with the other party requiring
such a waiver.
- Foreign voluntary compensation to protect your employees
who travel overseas.
- USL&H to cover your obligation to provide these federal
benefits if an employee should unexpectedly be found subject
to the act.
Cost-Saving Services
The Hartford offers a wealth of loss control and claim services. These
include:
Assistance in Making Your Workplace Safer - The Hartford offers
convenient access to loss control advice. Through our Web site
mb.thehartford.com, you can submit safety-related questions through
"Ask a Professional." We promise to respond quickly, provide you
with knowledgeable guidance - and keep your inquiry confidential. Our

security, ergonomics, natural catastrophes, and more. In addition, our
site offers links to Web sites from qualified vendors who provide

OSHA requirements.
Medical Bill Review - The Hartford scrutinizes medical bills
submitted to correct any erroneous charges, and to apply negotiated
discounts. In 2004, we saved an average of $273 per medical bill
through our Medical Bill Review program. Ultimately, these savings
have an impact on the insurance premiums our customers pay.
Team Work - The Hartford offers the tools you need to implement
your own return-to-work program. Our focus is on managing abilities
and helping to get your injured workers back to gainful employment as
soon as possible. Our rehabilitation professionals, located across the
