[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/workers-compensation) # Travelers Workers’ Compensation Insurance Travelers Workers Compensation Insurance Travelers underwrites workers compensation insurance directly as a standalone line, separate from a business owner's policy, and says it also provides risk control and claim services alongside the policy rather than selling coverage alone. [1](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/workers-compensation "Workers Compensation Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Workers-compensation product page, as read on 2026-09-23.) ## Issuing Insurer - A video transcript on the workers-compensation page is copyrighted to The Travelers Indemnity Company, which is consistent with that entity issuing workers compensation policies, though the page does not state that every workers-comp policy is issued by that entity rather than an affiliate. [1](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/workers-compensation "Workers Compensation Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Video transcript credit on the workers-compensation page; not a policy-level disclosure of the issuing entity for a specific quote.) ## Who It’s For - Travelers says nearly every state requires most businesses to carry workers compensation insurance, but that in monopolistic states employers must buy coverage from a state-run fund, or may self-insure using a third-party administrator, so Travelers workers compensation is not purchasable there through Travelers itself. [1](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/workers-compensation "Workers Compensation Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Workers-compensation FAQ answer, 'Who needs workers compensation insurance?'; the page does not list which states are monopolistic.) - Travelers markets workers compensation to both large, multi-state employers and small businesses, and says it maintains state-specific requirement information because coverage terms and required forms vary by jurisdiction. [1](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/workers-compensation "Workers Compensation Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Large-business and small-business sections and the 'Workers compensation laws vary by state' section.) ## Coverage Features - Travelers says the policy covers employees' medical expenses and lost wages for job-related injuries and diseases, includes employers liability coverage for related lawsuits not covered by workers-comp law, and that employers in monopolistic states may add employers liability separately as stop-gap coverage. [1](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/workers-compensation "Workers Compensation Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product overview and 'What does workers comp cover?' FAQ; full inclusions and exclusions depend on the policy as issued and the applicable state.) ## Risk Services - Travelers reports internal outcome and cost-containment statistics for its workers-comp claim and risk-control programs, including 70% of injured employees returning to work within 30 days, a 40% decline in opioid use it attributes to its Early Severity Predictor tool, and access to a network of 2.3 million medical providers. [1](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/workers-compensation "Workers Compensation Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Workers-compensation page statistics, sourced to Travelers internal data; these are company-reported outcomes, not independently verified.) ## How to Apply - Travelers directs buyers to contact a local Travelers agent to find a workers compensation policy, and separately notes pricing depends on business location, type of work, total payroll and claims history rather than a fixed rate. [1](https://www.travelers.com/business-insurance/workers-compensation "Workers Compensation Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Workers-compensation FAQ answers 'How can I buy workers compensation insurance?' and 'What determines the cost of a workers compensation policy?'.) ## Travelers Workers’ Compensation Insurance Compared - [Travelers vs Alliance Risk](https://spot.insure/compare/alliance-risk-vs-travelers/workers-compensation) - [Travelers vs Amelia Risk](https://spot.insure/compare/amelia-risk-vs-travelers/workers-compensation) - [Travelers vs Chubb](https://spot.insure/compare/chubb-vs-travelers/workers-compensation) - [Travelers vs Corgi](https://spot.insure/compare/corgi-vs-travelers/workers-compensation) - [Travelers vs Coverdash](https://spot.insure/compare/coverdash-vs-travelers/workers-compensation) - [Travelers vs Embroker](https://spot.insure/compare/embroker-vs-travelers/workers-compensation) ## Other Travelers Coverage Lines - [Travelers Business Owner’s Policy](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/business-owners-policy) - [Travelers Cargo and Transit Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/cargo-transit) - [Travelers Commercial Auto Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/commercial-auto) - [Travelers Commercial Property Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/commercial-property) - [Travelers Crime Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/crime) - [Travelers Cyber Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/cyber) - [Travelers D&O Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/directors-officers) - [Travelers Employment Practices Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/employment-practices) - [Travelers Equipment Breakdown Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/equipment-breakdown) - [Travelers Fiduciary Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/fiduciary) - [Travelers General Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/general-liability) - [Travelers Inland Marine Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/inland-marine) - [Travelers Kidnap and Ransom Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/kidnap-ransom) - [Travelers Management Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/management-liability) - [Travelers Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/professional-errors-omissions) - [Travelers Surety Bonds](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/surety-bonds) - [Travelers Tech E&O Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/technology-errors-omissions) - [Travelers Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/umbrella-excess) ## Related - [Travelers Profile](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers) - [Travelers Reliability](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/reliability) - [Travelers Alternatives](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/travelers/alternatives) - [Coverage Guide: Workers’ compensation](https://spot.insure/coverage/workers-compensation) ## Sources 1.
