FAQs
Common Questions from Food Trucks Businesses
Do I need workers comp for just one part-time employee?
Requirements vary by state. In most Southern states, workers comp becomes required with one to three employees. Even if not required, it protects you from costly injury claims.
Does workers comp cover a burn from a fryer in my food truck?
Yes. Burns from cooking equipment are among the most common injuries in food service and are fully covered by workers compensation.
Is workers compensation required?
In most states, yes — businesses with one or more employees are required to carry workers comp. Requirements vary by state and sometimes by industry or number of employees. A licensed agent can clarify what applies in your state.
What happens if I don't carry workers comp and an employee is injured?
You could be personally liable for the employee's medical costs and lost wages, face significant fines, and be exposed to a lawsuit. The financial and legal exposure of operating without required coverage is substantial.
