**assigned-risk workers compensation**

Assigned-risk workers compensation refers to a state-mandated program that provides workers’ compensation insurance coverage to employers who are considered high-risk and cannot obtain coverage through the voluntary insurance market. This system ensures that all employers, regardless of their risk profile, have access to necessary workers’ compensation benefits for their employees. Assigned-risk plans help protect workers by guaranteeing coverage while distributing high-risk cases among insurance carriers.
