Workers’ comp for Evansville businesses
Evansville runs the tri-state — plastics and manufacturing, healthcare systems serving southwest Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois, the Ohio River’s logistics, and the trades and services of the region’s commercial capital.
We insure Evansville’s manufacturers, auto and truck services, restaurants and retail, and medical practices. Tri-state operations are the local norm — Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois payroll on one program, each state’s rates correctly applied (and Indiana’s are the cheapest of the three).
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.
Industries we insure in Evansville
Evansville’s river-city economy fits our programs:
- Auto repair shops — tri-state fleet demand
- Janitorial & cleaning — industrial facilities services
- Restaurants — the downtown and Haynie’s Corner scene
- Medical & dental offices — the Deaconess and Ascension orbits
- Retail stores — the east-side corridors
Evansville workers’ comp rates
Indiana is one of the cheapest comp states in America — ICRB advisory rates fell another 5.8% effective January 1, 2026, and the actual class values are public. Our Indiana rates guide lists them.
Evansville rates on Indiana’s published tables — the cheapest of the three tri-state options — which makes correct state-by-state payroll assignment for cross-border crews a genuine pricing decision.
How we work for Evansville employers
- One application, a dozen A-rated carriers — including specialty markets that actively want your class of business
- Pay-as-you-go billing — premium follows your actual payroll instead of an annual estimate
- Same-day certificates — when a contract, lease, or license is waiting on proof of coverage
- Classification and mod reviews — the two levers that quietly decide what Evansville businesses overpay
- Ghost policies — for owner-only operations that just need compliant proof of coverage
