2021 Delaware Code|Title 19 - Labor|Chapter 23. Workers’ Compensation|Subchapter IV. Compulsory Insurance, Self-Insurance and Substitute Compensation Systems|§ 2378. Standard provisions of compensation insurance policies.

§ 2378. Standard provisions of compensation insurance policies. (a) All policies insuring the payment of compensation under this chapter shall contain a clause to the effect that as between the employee and the insured the notice to or knowledge of the occurrence of the injury or death on the part of the insured shall be deemed notice or knowledge, as the case may be, on the part of the insurer, that jurisdiction of the insured for the purposes of this chapter shall be jurisdiction of the insurer and that the insurer shall in all things be bound by and subject to the awards, judgments or decisions rendered against such insured. (b) No policy of insurance against liability arising under this chapter shall be issued unless it contains the agreement of the insurer that it will promptly pay to the person entitled to them all benefits conferred by this chapter and all installments of the compensation that may be awarded or agreed upon and that the obligation shall not be affected by any default of the insured after the injury or by any default in the giving of any notice required by such policy or otherwise. Such agreement shall be construed to be a direct promise by the insurer to the person entitled to compensation enforceable in the person's name. (c) All policies insuring the payment of compensation under this chapter shall contain a clause to the effect that when an insurer intends not to renew a policy, notice of such nonrenewal shall be given to the named insured, in writing, not less than 60 days prior to the end of the policy period. For the purposes of this subsection, “renew” means the issuance and delivery by an insurer of a policy superseding at the end of the policy period a policy previously issued and delivered by the same insurer, or the issuance and delivery of a certificate or notice extending the term of a policy beyond its policy period or term. Mailing of notice of intention not to renew to the named insured at the insured's address last of record with the insurer shall be by certified mail. Code 1915, §§  3193ff, 3193ee;  29 Del.

§ 2391. Taxes on premiums of insurance carriers and payrolls of self-insurers. (a) For the privilege of carrying on the business of workers' compensation insurance in this State, every insurance carrier shall pay the taxes imposed under the Insurance Code, and every employer carrying the employer's own risk and thereby insuring the employer's own self under this chapter shall pay the taxes imposed by this section.

The Department may verify such classifications and such statement of payroll by inspection and audit at the expense of the employer, and such verification shall be made by the rating bureau or association provided for in § 2607 of Title 18. The charges to self-insurers shall be the same charges which other insurance carriers are required to pay under this chapter.
