MoveStar

The following explanation is provided relative to insurance coverage carried by MoveStar:

1. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION: Texas is the only state which does not by law require employers to carry Workers Compensation Insurance. Many employers opt out of carrying this insurance coverage on their employees due to the excessive cost of the premiums. Workers’ Compensation Insurance provides medical and lost wages to employees who are injured while in the course and scope of their employment. For you the customer, this means any employee who is injured while moving your goods will look to the Workers Compensation carrier for these benefits. This is a protection for you. We feel it is important to make you aware that selecting a company that does not carry Workers Compensation Insurance for their employees may create exposure to liability to you, the customer. This coverage is at no cost to the customer. View complete explanation
