Workers Comp insurance is a separate requirement from liability or health insurance. Neither health nor liability will cover injuries of employees on the job. Having insurance means that a business can pay for medical care, lost wages and death benefits. Most states will require that you purchase a policy. Currently the only state not regulating Workers Comp is Texas.
Cost for carpentry insurance is more expensive than the same coverage for an office worker because of the inherent risks of the job. A stand-alone policy is a great option for larger operations but not the best option for small business. If a company has a high number of claims, it can be difficult to purchase stand-alone coverage.
