Workers’ comp for Bowling Green businesses
Bowling Green builds — the Corvette plant and the supplier network around it, one of Kentucky’s fastest-growing manufacturing corridors, Western Kentucky University’s economy, and the retail and services of south-central Kentucky’s hub.
We insure Bowling Green’s suppliers and machine shops, auto services, restaurants and retail, and the trades serving Warren County’s growth. Manufacturing classes rate affordably on Kentucky’s falling tables, and safety documentation keeps them falling faster than the state average.
What Kentucky requires
Kentucky requires coverage from the first employee (agriculture is the main exemption). Claims run electronically through the LMS system — the IA-1 first report is due within a week of a lost-time injury — and the state offers a free public coverage lookup.
