Accident Insurance for Independent Contractors
The insurer of choice for 400 daily newspapers, 125 distribution companies and nearly 30,000 independent contractors throughout the US, WGA by McNeil & Co. provides vital accident protections for independent contractors, part-time and non-benefited employees.
Independent contractors are not covered by workers’ compensation. However, they are at risk for denied medical and auto claims, work-related medical bills and are responsible for their substitutes in the case of an accident. And more than 90% of all reported accidents occur On-Route.
WGA offers a policy that’s simple, easy to pay for and designed to cover your needs.
