depends ..... are you an employee, a sub-contractor or engaged under some other scheme.
also, have you signed a 'hold-harmless' agreement?
If you live in Nevada an employer does not have to. In fact the Nevada will defend the employer, if an employee is injured on the job and the employer does not have W/C Insurance. I've been though this.
Workers compensation insurance is supplied by an employer and can only be used when a person is injured on a job. The employer will file all the paper work and the employee usually doesn't have to do anything.
"Until retirement, permanent health insurance is a policy that provides for an employer if they are no longer capable of doing their job if they've been injured or have an illness."
Workers compensation is similar to insurance. If someone is injured while on the job the employer has to pay for wages lost while injured as well as medical expenses.
Worker's compensation is insurance coverage for employees to compensate them in case they are injured while performing their job. The employer pays a premium that covers medical expenses and lost wages in case their employees are injured. If these benefits are excepted the hurt employee must release the employer of further liability. The insurance company pays the claim and the employee can no longer sue the employer for the injury.
That is between you and your employer.
YES ... If your job is driving your car ...
medical insurance
Federal Portal-to-Portal Act says that the commute from home to assigned work site is unpaid. If injured in employer vehicle, the employer's auto insurance applied, NOT workers comp - commuting employees are not in the course and scope of employment.
COBRA insurance is a guarantee that your health insurance is portable when you leave the job. It is now private insurance where you are paying for it. The cost is probably higher than the employer provided insurance so you would want to look at the 2 carefully and determine which would be most economical. It does not make sense to pay for two policies. If your new job pays for (some of) the insurance dump your COBRA.
Workers Compensation
Sometimes. If you were injured while on the clock, but engaged in committing a crime, the employer can deny liability.
