Beacon Mutual Indemnity Co.

The Beacon Mutual Insurance Company, also known as Beacon Mutual Indemnity Co., is the largest provider of worker’s compensation insurance within the state of Rhode Island. This company also supplies property casualty insurance to commercial businesses.

Companies purchase worker’s compensation insurance from companies like Beacon Mutual to avoid paying dearly for employee injuries. Adequate insurance coverage ensures that companies will not wind up going out of business due to expensive lawsuits and other issues related to employee injuries.

Worker’s compensation claims are filed when an employee gets injured while doing something related to work. Claims are filed by representatives at the job site on behalf of the injured employee. If the claim is valid and is honored by the insurance company, the employee will receive a percentage of his or her weekly wage until the injury improves or the benefits run out. This insurance will cover a portion of lost wages and medical bills for the work-related injury, but does not cover claims of pain and suffering or other non-tangible issues.

Beacon Mutual Indemnity Co. has a large roster of specialists available to assist injured employees to understand their potential benefits. The Beacon Mutual website has a special section designed to answer the questions of injured workers. Representatives from the company can be reached by submitting a query through this website.

Along with employers, Beacon Mutual crafts ‘’Return to Work’’ programs which allow injured employees to slowly transition back into their jobs at a pace conducive to their recovery needs.

Beacon Mutual offers programs to companies which are designed to minimize the possibility of injuries, and in turn minimize the potential for worker’s compensation claims. These programs are called "Loss Prevention" programs and are offered as a way for companies to lower their insurance premiums.

These programs are designed to help companies recognize potential hazards within the workplace while encouraging employees to work as safely as possible. Employers who are interested in this type of program can contact Beacon Mutual directly to find out about starting a loss prevention program.

Companies covered by Beacon Mutual can pay an extra fee in order to gain access to online training for employees.
