Occupational Accident Insurance: 

What does occupational accident insurance do for me?

Occupational accident insurance provides financial coverage for injuries incurred by independent contractors (ICs) while on dispatch for an approved contracting company. It differs from workers' compensation insurance, which only covers a company's hired employees. As a result, occupational accident insurance may provide the only available avenue of relief for ICs injured in a work-related accident.  

Acquiring occupational accident insurance through the Openforce platform also provides:

• Settlement-deducted premiums paid in arrears. Our automated platform ensures you always have the right coverage when you need it (without needing to pay for time not worked).

• No exclusions. Enjoy a plan with no exclusions for pre-existing conditions and no commercial driver's license requirements.
• Comprehensive coverage. Includes accidental dismemberment or loss of use, temporary total disability based on gross earnings, and common occupation diseases such as hernia, hemorrhoids, and cumulative trauma.

• Percentage-based premiums. Insurance premium is 1.3% of weekly gross commissions, per settlement, ensuring ICs pay no more than they need to.
