Small Business Coverage and Peace of Mind
Arizona encompasses the stunning Grand Canyon, the piney mountain peaks of Flagstaff, the sizzling Sonoran Desert around Tucson, and the cactus-studded metropolis of Phoenix. With an economy larger than Ireland, New Zealand, and Finland, Arizona is home to major employers such as Best Western, Fender Guitars, P.F. Chang’s, and Cold Stone Creamery.
Arizona might have been the last of the forty-eight contiguous states to achieve statehood in 1912, but in recent decades the state has been setting records for growth. The independent spirit of Arizona’s pioneers can be seen in the large number of small businesses which employ over half a million people in the Grand Canyon State.
Whatever the size or mission of the business, it is required to have workers’ compensation coverage. The Industrial Commission of Arizona was created in 1925 to implement the constitutional provisions establishing workers’ compensation.1
Arizona workers’ compensation is a “no fault” system in which an injured employee is entitled to receive medical benefits and temporary compensation for an industrial injury, no matter who caused the job-related accident.2 In most instances, workers compensation is the exclusive remedy against an employer that is insured.
Workers’ compensation insurance can be obtained from insurance companies licensed by the state. Industries purchasing workers’ compensation insurance in Arizona include bakeries, hotels, janitorial services, movie theaters, auto dealers, accountants, attorneys, nurseries, wineries, retailers, and manufacturers of apparel, computer products, foods and beverages, plastic products, and paper goods.
