The Leader in Idaho Workers’ Comp


Idaho has been our home for over 100 years, and we’ve watched our state grow and evolve into one of the best places to live and work in the country. We love Idaho, we love the unique business landscape here, and we love that we get to care for our friends and neighbors each day.  

We keep a pulse on our business economy, on insurance trends, and on constantly adapting our solutions to meet Idaho’s needs. It’s our goal to increase workplace safety, reduce accidents, and to always be here to care for the wellbeing of all injured workers across our Idaho.  

We love to see workers and businesses here grow, adapt, and we're proud to partner in their success. 

SIF is valuable to us because their employees are professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with; plus, they help our clients improve the safety of their respective businesses.

Community Outreach

Our team is proud to support the communities in which we live and do business. Each quarter SIF employees select an Idaho charity and raise donations to support their mission. Since 2020, we have raised over $40,000 in support of local charities. We host American Red Cross blood drives, we Rake Up Boise, and we support professional organizations across Idaho.

Kids’ Chance of Idaho

Kids’ Chance is a national organization that provides scholarship opportunities to the children of seriously or fatally injured workers. Since its founding in 1988, Kids’ Chance has awarded over 5,593 scholarships totalling over $16,592,000. SIF is pleased to be a sponsor of the Idaho chapter. If you, or someone you know, might be eligible for a scholarship through Kids’ Chance, please visit their website: Kids’ Chance of Idaho.

Financially Stable for Idaho’s Future
