AnswerFederal law developed the work comp system and every state has a unique form of it. If you have a single employee, then you need work comp insurance. No matter the state. If the employee becomes injured, if you don't have work comp insurance they can sue your company and you personally for not carrying the work comp insurance.You can be a sole P, INC, LLC, or partnership and get work comp insurance. You can even get work comp insurance for yourself as an owner.Check with a local insurance broker to make sure you are following your states law.
Workmens comp. only covers work related accidents, you have to actually be doing your job when you are injured to get workmans compensation.
If you have a stroke at work, workman's comp is not going to cover your illness. You must get hurt at work in an accident in order for the illness to be covered.
