What coverage a Law Firm business needs
Most law firm operations carry Workers' Compensation — legally required in almost every state once you have employees — plus General Liability for third-party bodily-injury and property-damage claims, and, where vehicles or tools are involved, Commercial Auto and Tools & Equipment coverage. Workers' Comp is usually the largest single line for hands-on trades, because the class code reflects the injury risk of the actual work performed rather than the size of the business.
How the rate is set: your filed loss cost is only the regulator-approved baseline. Your actual premium is that loss cost multiplied by your carrier's loss-cost multiplier (LCM), your experience modifier (which rewards a clean claims history), and your payroll divided by $100. Two law firm businesses in the same state can pay very different rates once their experience modifier and carrier are applied to the same filed loss cost.
Methodology
Filed loss costs summarized here are drawn from public state-DOI rate filings (via each state's SERFF portal), or public NCCI State Advisory Forum summaries, for the NCCI class code mapped to NAICS 541110. Loss costs are per $100 of payroll before the carrier's loss-cost multiplier; your actual rate depends on your carrier's LCM, experience modifier, and state. No proprietary NCCI manual content is reproduced. See our full sourcing policy for how filings are retrieved and verified.
