Why workers comp matters for tow truck drivers in Baltimore
Towing companies face a different type of workplace risk. Employees may be working on the shoulder of a road, loading disabled vehicles, operating hydraulics, connecting chains and straps, responding in bad weather, or moving around impound yards and repair facilities.
Roadside exposure
Drivers may work near traffic, low visibility, emergency scenes, bad weather, disabled vehicles, and unpredictable roadside conditions.
Recovery equipment
Winches, hooks, chains, straps, wheel lifts, flatbeds, hydraulics, dollies, and tie-down equipment can create hands-on injury exposure.
Maryland compliance
Workers compensation can help meet Maryland employer requirements while helping the business respond after a covered employee injury or occupational illness.
Workers compensation coverage for towing businesses
Workers compensation is designed to help with covered employee injuries or occupational illnesses that arise out of employment. For towing companies, employee duties and operations should be reviewed carefully.
What workers comp may help cover
Depending on the claim and policy, workers compensation may help pay for medical care, wage replacement, rehabilitation, and other benefits required by state law after a covered work injury.
What affects the price
Pricing may depend on payroll, business classification, employee duties, ownership status, claims history, safety practices, and whether the business performs towing, roadside assistance, repossession, auto transport, storage, or repair work.
