Construction is one of the most dynamic and dangerous industries in the U.S. Every day, crews face real risks: falls, equipment injuries, electrical hazards, and more. That’s why choosing the right workers’ compensation (WC) policy isn’t just a box to check, it’s a strategic advantage.
At Foresight, we believe the best workers’ comp coverage for construction does more than respond to accidents. It helps prevent them in the first place. Here’s what makes a policy truly stand out—and why our approach is built differently.
What Makes a Great Workers’ Comp Policy for Construction?
1. Industry-Specific Underwriting
Construction isn’t one-size-fits-all. From framing contractors to concrete pourers to roofing crews, each trade carries its own unique risk profile. The best carriers:
- Understand construction nuances
- Accept higher-mod clients
- Offer competitive pricing for safety-forward companies
Foresight’s approach: Our underwriting appetite is designed for high-hazard industries like construction. We say yes where others hesitate, especially when there’s a commitment to safety improvement.
2. Safety Support That’s More Than Lip Service
Most insurers reward safety only after the fact. We believe in investing in it from day one.
With every Foresight policy, your clients get access to Safesite, a mobile-first safety platform that helps:
- Conduct jobsite inspections
- Assign safety tasks
- Track leading indicators
- Reduce incident frequency
Results we’re proud of: Our policyholders have seen a 17% average reduction in claim frequency, according to a 2023 Actuarial Study. We also estimate we’ve prevented 1,300 injuries based on analyzing expected versus actual claim outcomes (based on industry benchmarks and historical loss data.
3. Claims Handling That Works in the Real World
When an injury happens, you need a partner, not a black box. Look for a carrier that offers:
- Fast, transparent claims service
- Dedicated claims advocates
- Guidance on return-to-work programs
Foresight’s difference: We combine smart tech with real people who understand what contractors need because safety and speed matter.
