Yes, in California failure to have workers' compensation coverage is a criminal offense. In fact, the California Labor Code makes it a misdemeanor punishable by either a fine of up to $10,000 or imprisonment in the county jail for up to one year, or both. Additionally, the state issues penalties of up to $100,000 against illegally uninsured employers. Thus, employees whose companies do not provide Workers' Compensation can file a civil action against the employer in addition to filing a workers' compensation claim.

Yes, or remain liable for their workers' injuries PLUS allow workers to sue them if they don't. Failure to provide workers' compensation coverage is a criminal offense and in. In California, it is a misdemeanor punishable by either a fine of up to $10,000 or imprisonment in the county jail for up to one year, or both. Additionally, the state issues penalties of up to $100,000 against illegally uninsured employers.

The form of the employer does not matter. Partnerships, sole proprietorship, corporations, co-ops, and government agencies must offer WC if they employ more than the minimum number of workers.

****No, not all states require Workers compensation insurance to be provided, in Texas it is NOT mandatory to provide WC insurance to employees.
