First. My answers are for U.S. Employees ONLY.
If you're a 1099 employee and you work in any setting, You are covered by Workman's Comp. If you work for a company and they pay you 1099, but you work for them, same place every day, etc, they MUST carry Workmans Comp insurance to cover you.
Now there are a couple of exceptions. For instance you are, or work for ABC cleaning company. If you submit a bill or a bill is submitted on your behalf to garner payment, then it is the bill generators responsability to cover you with Workmans Comp Insurance.
If the employer informes you he does and will not carry this type of insurace, and you agree and sign off and are compensated for said lack of coverage, then your "employer" need not carry Workmans Comp Insurance on you.
If you want complete details of who and what coverages need to be carried go to Google.com and search Workmans Comp rules & regulations for YOUR STATE or Country, as all states/countries vary a small amount.

∙ 13y agoAn employer can choose to cover even independent contractors paid on 1099's. We do. The alternative is being subject to suit if the conyractor is injured while performing work. Employers CAN require in contracts that contractors carry WC on themselves.

It depends on your state. For example, Texas is the only voluntary state for Workers' Comp. BUT, it, like all states, says that if you don't carry the coverage you remain liable for your workers AND you lose your sole remedy (which means people can sue your company for workers' injuries - not only the worker, but his spouse, kids...) Not all states say you have to cover 1099 workers, but many do - including the voluntary Comp state of Texas - if your subcontractors don't have coverage (or remain liable.)
Can you still get workers comp if injured not on the job?
No. Workers' compensation insurance is for injuries incurred while working.
