What coverage is provided in Part 2 of the Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability Policy?

• A. Medical Benefits for Employees
• B. Coverage for the Employer If Sued by the Employee
• C. Wage Replacement Benefits
• D. Coverage for Employees Against Employer Negligence

Answer: (B)

Part Two is Employers’ Liability. It provides protection for the employer when an employee sues for damages arising from on-the-job injuries or diseases, covering the employer’s legal liability, including defense costs, settlements, or judgments. This is separate from the medical benefits and wage replacement paid under Part One, which are the employee’s remedies for workplace injuries. It’s also not coverage that benefits employees directly against the employer’s negligence; it insures the employer against lawsuits filed by employees for negligence related to work.
