All laws pertaining to workman's compensation insurance are inacted and enforced by the resident state. It would be necessary to contact the states labor relations board to find out the procedure for obtaining such coverage.
An alternative available in most states for certain workers is Occupational Accident and Contingent Liability. When paired together, they can provide many of the same protections, and in some cases can be better. The best fits for this option are volunteers and self employed, subcontracted workers.
As an aside, I don't disagree with the original answer. However, if a worker lives in one state, is employed by a company in another state, and travels on business to a third state where an accident occurs, he has a choice under which state to make his claim under Workers Comp.
