What is Covered Under an Occupational Accident Policy?
Occupational Accident is an insurance policy that insures independent contractors against covered injuries that happen in connection with work done with Jitsu. Occupational Accident provides benefits for medical expenses, disability, loss of life, survivor payments, dismemberment and paralysis for covered injuries directly caused by an accident on the job.
