At Conover we understand the necessity for you and your company to be covered under all lines of insurance. Workers’ compensation is not, by definition, insurance. Rather, it is social insurance, much the same as unemployment compensation or social security. Under workers’ compensation law, employers are required to make provisions for workers who are injured in accidents arising out of or in the course of employment. Injured employees may receive medical treatment and receive compensation based on a percentage of their wages to replace lost income.
Workers’ compensation is a no-fault structure, meaning that an injured employee need not prove the injury was someone else’s fault in order to receive workers’ compensation benefits for an on-the-job injury.
The requirements for businesses to carry workers’ compensation coverage varies by state. Your Conover representative can guide you in these requirements and provide appropriate solutions for your workers’ compensation needs.
Conover Insurance has formed strong and lasting relationships with our surety companies, underwriters and the programs available in today’s bonding market. While most brokers understand insurance, not all brokers understand bonding and/or surety. At Conover, we have over 20 years of experience in bonding and can provide you with the best bonding line available through Treasury-listed bonding companies.
What is a surety bond?
A surety bond is a promise to be liable for a debt, default or failure of another. A bond is an instrument of prequalification, representing that the principal has been examined by a surety company and is found to be qualified to complete the contractual obligation.

Risks are everywhere, and whether you’re trying to protect a business or your personal property, Conover Insurance is there to help you along the way.
Protecting your Business
Identifying all the risks that could face your business may seem endless, so it is important to know how to identify and prioritize threats. Most insurance companies will only look at hazard risks and operational risks that can be covered by insurance. Risks that have the possibility of a positive outcome might not normally be considered when thinking of insurance since these are things that can not be covered by insurance.
Conover Insurance has the resources to take an Enterprise Risk Management approach to understand all risks that face your business. This approach will create the ability to identify the best solution for treatment and determining when and how to finance those risks, choose the appropriate coverages, what limits would best suit your needs and help determine things such as deductibles or self-insured retentions.
Extensive resources are also available to our clients to help them with safety, compliance, policies and other traditional risk management needs.
Protecting your Home and Family
When it comes to your family or home, the smallest loss can be devastating. Whether you just want a basic fire preparedness plan, or want to prepare for an apocalypse, Conover has resources to help keep you, your family, belongings and property prepared and ready for the unexpected.
