[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/hiscox/workers-compensation) # Hiscox Workers’ Compensation Insurance Hiscox Workers Compensation Insurance For workers' compensation, Hiscox Inc. acts as an access point to a partner insurer rather than underwriting the coverage itself, and requires the buyer to also hold a Hiscox general-liability policy before it will provide access to workers' compensation. [1](https://www.hiscox.com/small-business-insurance/workers-compensation-insurance "Workers Compensation Insurance for Small Businesses") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-stated partnership structure; this differs from Hiscox's own-catalogue general liability, professional liability, cyber and BOP products, which are underwritten by its own affiliated insurer.) ## Issuing Insurer - Hiscox's workers'-compensation page footer names Hartford Fire Insurance Company, at One Hartford Plaza, Hartford, CT, as the underwriter, with coverage made available through Hiscox Inc. doing business as Hiscox Insurance Agency in California. [1](https://www.hiscox.com/small-business-insurance/workers-compensation-insurance "Workers Compensation Insurance for Small Businesses") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-published footer disclosure; this is a different insurer from the Hiscox Insurance Company Inc. entity that underwrites Hiscox's own-catalogue products.) ## Who It’s For - Hiscox says workers' compensation access requires the buyer to already hold, or concurrently purchase, a Hiscox general-liability policy, and that the product is not available for all classes of business. [1](https://www.hiscox.com/small-business-insurance/workers-compensation-insurance "Workers Compensation Insurance for Small Businesses") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-stated prerequisite and class limitation; specific excluded classes are not listed on the page.) ## Coverage Features - The workers'-compensation page describes the product in general terms as statutory workers' compensation coverage through the Hartford partnership; it does not add Hiscox-specific coverage enhancements beyond what a standard Hartford workers'-compensation policy would include. [1](https://www.hiscox.com/small-business-insurance/workers-compensation-insurance "Workers Compensation Insurance for Small Businesses") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company-stated partnership product; specific policy wording and state benefit levels are set by Hartford's issued policy and applicable state law.) ## Limits and Retentions - **Not publicly disclosed.** The workers'-compensation page does not publish benefit limits, wage-replacement percentages or premium information; statutory benefit levels are generally set by state law rather than by Hiscox or Hartford. [1](https://www.hiscox.com/small-business-insurance/workers-compensation-insurance "Workers Compensation Insurance for Small Businesses") (Scope: Public product page as previously reviewed.) ## How to Apply - Hiscox lists workers' compensation among the products selectable from its small-business quote flow, routing eligible buyers who also carry (or are buying) general liability toward the Hartford-underwritten product.
