What are the requirements for small business insurance in Alaska?

State laws can affect which insurance policies you need for your small business. These policies are required for Alaska businesses.

Workers' compensation insurance

With some exceptions, Alaska state law requires businesses with one or more employees, full-time or part-time, to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Civil and criminal penalties apply to employers who fail to maintain coverage. This policy covers medical bills for work injuries and illnesses.

Commercial auto insurance

All business-owned vehicles in Alaska must be covered by commercial auto insurance. Alaska requires $25,000 property damage liability per accident, $50,000 bodily injury liability per person, and $50,000 bodily injury liability per accident.

Though it's not required, personal vehicles driven for work purposes should be covered by hired and non-owned auto insurance, as personal auto policies usually exclude business use. It can be added to general liability insurance or a business owner's policy.
