Buying Workers Compensation for Your Employees

As a business owner, you will want to buy workers compensation health insurance for your employees. Not only does workers compensation protect your employees in case of an injury, but it also protects you from a potential lawsuit. Most states require businesses to purchase workers compensation or face heavy penalties. Laws vary from state to state, however. Some, such as California, require workers compensation even if you only have one employee, while others only require it for certain types of jobs. Consult the laws in your state before deciding whether you need to purchase this coverage.
