FAQs: California workers' comp insurance


How does workers' comp coverage differ from general liability insurance?

Workers' comp covers injuries to employees related to their job duties. Coverage pays for medical treatment, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and wage replacement while you’re unable to work. On the other hand, general or professional liability insurance protects the company against third-party claims such as customer injuries or property damage. Both are important, but serve different purposes.

Can I manage multiple clients through one agent portal?

Yes. Pie’s partner portal is designed for agents who manage high volumes of business. You can quote, bind, track applications, and manage policies across all your California clients in one place.

Can I write workers' comp in California for clients with employees in multiple states?

Yes, Pie can offer solutions for California-based businesses with operations in other approved Pie states. However, each out-of-state location must be individually reviewed for eligibility and compliance. Our underwriting team works with agents to confirm which states can be added and how exposure is rated.

What support does Pie provide to agents working in California?

Pie offers real-time chat and email support, California-specific underwriting guidelines, downloadable resources, and co-branded marketing tools to help agents efficiently grow their book.

What factors influence workers’ comp insurance premiums?

Premiums are based on factors such as payroll size, industry risk level, claims history, state regulations, and classification codes that describe job types and associated risks. Employers can reduce them by improving workplace safety, implementing effective risk management programs, providing training to employees, and maintaining a good claims history. Insurers may also offer discounts for safety certifications.
