Workers’ comp for Indianapolis businesses
Indianapolis works the crossroads — one of America’s great logistics hubs, a major health-systems economy, the sports capital’s event machine, and a downtown-and-neighborhoods business base from Mass Ave to Fountain Square, all in one of the country’s cheapest comp states.
We insure Indy’s professional firms, logistics services, restaurants and hospitality, medical practices, and the trades. Indiana’s published advisory rates fell another 5.8% for 2026 — clerical at $0.07 per $100 — which makes correct setup, not price panic, the local agenda.
What Indiana requires
Indiana requires coverage from the first employee, with narrow statutory exceptions. The employer/carrier directs medical care, and the SF 34401 first report is due within 7 days of a lost-time injury.
