Expand Your Reach with Occupational Accident Coverage - Tim Gleason
![]()

The gig economy is thriving—and it’s more than rideshare and delivery. Independent contractors now drive growth in healthcare, professional services, warehousing, transportation, and hospitality. These workers value flexibility, but without traditional protections from workers’ compensation, they may face serious financial and lasting risk when injuries occur. That’s where Occupational Accident Insurance (OAI) steps in.
OAI is designed for 1099 contractors, providing important protection against work-related injuries. Coverage includes medical expenses, disability benefits to replace lost income during recovery, and Accidental Death & Dismemberment to help insureds achieve peace of mind. For contractors who depend on their ability to work, these benefits are critical. By offering OAI, you’re not just selling insurance, you’re delivering security and confidence to a growing workforce.
Industries beyond trucking increasingly rely on independent talent: traveling nurses, home health aides, technicians, event staff, and warehouse workers are examples of expanded markets all facing real risks. OAI helps businesses attract and retain top contractors while reducing downtime and protecting their bottom line.
The gig economy is projected to outpace traditional employment. Now is the time to act. With Great American Insurance’s expertise and tailored solutions, you can position yourself as a trusted advisor and tap into new revenue streams in this expanding market.
