(car horn beeps) You wanna have a policy in place before you hire your first employee and for yourself. Even in states where it's not the law, it's usually a good idea to have it in order to protect yourself from a lawsuit.

Let's say an employee gets hurt on the job and sues you. In most states, workers' comp will handle attorney's fees, court costs, settlements, or judgments. More than that, sole proprietors and independent contractors can buy workers' comp for themselves to ensure that a workplace accident doesn't leave them unable to work.

Ouch. Look at workers' compensation as something that protects you and employees alike, whether you're on a construction site or in an office all day that's peace of mind in one policy.
