Risk Management Counseling for Self-Insured Employers
Uninsured employers are effectively self-insured against workers’ compensation claims. There are many risks to an uninsured employer, and they can threaten the continued existence and viability of the firm. These risks include:
- Possibility of business closure
- Large fines imposed by the California Labor Commissioner
- Exposure to civil suits by injured workers
- Criminal conviction and personal fines
- Imposition of a 10% surcharge in addition to the disability claim, plus attorney fees for the worker
Sacks Law Group, APC, frequently provides legal services, advice, and counsel to uninsured contractors, employers, and small businesses regarding the legal and financial risks they run and how to comply with the laws.
