Client Testimonials

“I switched to TS Peck a couple of years ago because the insurance agency I had been with for decades had dropped the ball on customer service. I was reminded of what a great decision it had been when I reached out to Anne for help earlier last month, she couldn’t have been more prompt, friendly, and helpful.

As an employer I know how hard it is to find great staff these days so wanted to take the time to let you know that Anne is one of those rare finds.”

Can Arborists Get Workers Compensation Through Tree Service Policies?

Workers compensation generally protects against workplace illnesses and injuries, and most businesses that have employees are required to carry it. The coverage is especially important in the tree service industry, where employees are at risk of falling, being hit by falling objects, or being injured by tools.

Whether arborists are able to get workers compensation through their tree service policy depends on the particular policy, however. Some policies make the coverage available, while others exclude it. In the event that it’s excluded from a policy, workers compensation can be easily obtained via a standalone policy that’s sold separately. An insurance agent can help with this process.

Even with variance among premiums, though, premiums tend to be affordable and fit within businesses’ budgets.

An independent insurance agent can help arborists find out exactly what the insurance they want will cost. Independent agents aren’t tied to one insurer but operate independently.
