Frequently Asked Questions
Do Charleston employers need workers' compensation insurance?
Charleston employers follow West Virginia state law — workers' compensation is required for employers with 1+ employees. Operating without coverage can trigger fines, stop-work orders, and personal liability for business owners if a worker is injured.
Who rates workers' comp policies in Charleston?
NCCI rates policies across West Virginia, including Charleston. Your premium is driven by class codes, payroll, and your experience modification rate (E-Mod). Local carriers in Charleston compete for good risks, and a broker shopping multiple markets is usually the fastest way to benchmark your rate.
What if I can't get coverage for my Charleston business in the voluntary market?
BrickStreet Mutual Insurance is the last-resort market. Rates are typically 20-50% higher than the voluntary market. Most Charleston employers in the pool can exit at next renewal with a documented loss-control plan — we help build that plan and package it for voluntary-market underwriters.
