CONCLUSION
Navigating Workers’ Compensation Insurance laws can be tricky – especially if you are a small-
business owner who is planning to hire their first employee. Your insurance requirements depend
on how many employees you have and where you live. Not fulfilling these requirements can be
devastating to small-business owners. Without insurance, you could face lawsuits, fines, and even
criminal charges. But with the appropriate Workers’ Compensation Insurance policy, you’ll be able to
protect your employees – and your business.
