What are the requirements for small business insurance in Hawaii?
State laws can affect which insurance policies you need for your small business. These policies are required for Hawaii businesses.
Workers' compensation insurance
With some exceptions, Hawaii state law requires businesses with one or more employees, full-time or part-time, permanent or temporary, to carry workers’ compensation insurance. This policy covers medical bills for work injuries and illnesses.
Commercial auto insurance
All business-owned vehicles in Hawaii must be covered by commercial auto insurance. Hawaii requires a minimum of $20,000 bodily injury liability per person, $40,000 bodily injury liability per accident, $10,000 property damage liability per accident, and $10,000 personal injury protection.
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.
