What are the requirements for small business insurance in Connecticut?
Workers' compensation insurance
Connecticut businesses with employees are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Household employees who work fewer than 26 hours per week are an exception. All other employees, whether they’re part-time, full-time, or seasonal, must be covered under an employer’s workers’ compensation insurance. This policy covers medical bills for work injuries and illnesses.
Commercial auto insurance
All business-owned vehicles in Connecticut must be covered by commercial auto insurance. 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.
Connecticut’s commercial auto insurance requirements are:
- Bodily injury liability: $20,000 per person / $40,000 per accident
- Property damage liability: $25,000 per accident
- Uninsured motorist coverage: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
