It depends on the state as to whether you're exempt, yet even if you're exempt, you remain liable. And, by carrying Workers' Compensation, you prevent your workers from suing you (except in cases of gross negligence.)

In Texas can a heath club not offer workmens comp to it's employees?
Yes, because Texas is the only voluntary Comp state. But they remain liable for the workers' injuries and should opt out correctly - according to the state rules, filing their decision with the state and posting the proper notice to employees. Employers in all states need to realize they remain liable if they don't have coverage, and that their employees and their employees' families can sue them.

Do you need workmans comp insurance for a concession stand if employee 13 years of age?
You need workers' compensation insurance if you have employees. You do not need worker's comp insurance if you are a sole owner. In most states, owners of a business are exempt from having workers' comp for themselves. The type of business does not matter. If you have employees, you need comp insurance. ...plus, the venue, whether a city owned street, school or music venue SHOULD require that you carry the coverage on yourself to ensure you don't allege to be its employee if you suffer an injury.
Does an independent contractor in the drywall business need to carry workmen's comp?
Your General Contractors (or clients, if you go direct) may be liable for your Work Comp coverage if you don't carry it because many states are "ladder states." If you work with a GC, ask them if they can include you on their coverage and adjust your pay accordingly. If you carry your own Comp, you may find you can compete better for jobs. If you have employees, YES, please carry Comp - you're liable even if the law says you're exempt because of your company size or employee type.

Does a general contractor need workmen's comp in Texas?
Texas is the only state in the nation that does not require employers to carry workmens compensation insurance for their employees. All 50 states require Workers Compensation but most if not all allow for some exemptions. However, exemptions, due to number or type of employees, for example, are from carrying insurance, NOT from liability. So before you forgo coverage, make sure you have fulfilled Texas state reporting requirements (you can't just decide not to carry it & not file as such with the state) AND can write a big check if you have a big claim - or a lot of small ones! In Texas alone, an alternative to Comp known as Non-Subscription is available, and in 47 states VOCAL is available as a short term alternative to Comp for volunteers and self employed workers in the entertainment and hospitality industries (conventions, parades, concerts, wedding receptions, football concessions, etc.) To answer your question, though - the answer is no.
