About this tool
Prepare to verify insurance rules for your workers, vehicles, licenses and contracts. A state and employee count alone cannot establish all of your obligations.
This tool does not determine legal compliance, exemptions or sufficient coverage. Confirm current requirements for your circumstances.
How to Use This Tool
Use this tool to prepare for a more informed insurance conversation:
Select your state
Select a state where you operate; repeat the review for other work locations.
Describe employees and vehicles
Enter employees if known and indicate business vehicle use. Zero employees does not establish an exemption.
Review questions and sources
Check the scope and date of any sourced reference, then confirm your situation with the relevant agency and a licensed professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tell me exactly what insurance I must buy?
No. The tool does not have a fully verified legal-requirements record for each state. It provides verification questions and clearly scoped reference facts. Your worker classifications, activities, contracts and current state rules need review.
Does zero employees mean workers’ compensation is unnecessary?
No. The tool records zero separately from unknown. Ask how owners, contractors, trade-specific rules and work in other states affect your circumstances.
Are standard auto minimums sufficient for every business vehicle?
Do not assume that. Vehicle use, weight, cargo, operating areas, motor carrier rules and contracts may call for different limits or coverage. A sourced standard-auto reference is not a commercial-vehicle determination.
