Lawn care contractors face unique risks every day—from operating heavy equipment to exposure to chemicals and unpredictable outdoor conditions. Whether you're mowing residential lawns or maintaining commercial landscapes, having the right workers compensation insurance (also known as work comp insurance) is essential to protect your business and your team.
At Total Work Comp, we specialize in helping contractors like you find the best coverage at the best price. We work with multiple top-rated insurance providers to ensure you get a policy tailored to your needs.
Common Risks Faced by Lawn Care Professionals
Lawn care may seem low-risk on the surface, but the reality is quite different. Here are some common hazards:
🛠️ Equipment Injuries: Mowers, trimmers, and blowers can cause serious harm if mishandled.
🌞 Heat Stress: Long hours in the sun can lead to dehydration or heatstroke.
🌿 Chemical Exposure: Fertilizers and pesticides pose health risks if not properly handled.
🚚 Vehicle Accidents: Transporting equipment and traveling between job sites increases the risk of auto-related injuries.
Without proper workers compensation coverage, even a minor incident could lead to major financial setbacks.
What Does a Work Comp Policy Cover?
A comprehensive workers compensation policy typically includes:
💼 Medical Expenses: Covers treatment for work-related injuries or illnesses.
💰 Lost Wages: Provides income replacement while an employee recovers.
⚖️ Legal Protection: Shields your business from lawsuits related to workplace injuries.
🧠 Rehabilitation Services: Supports employees in returning to work safely.
