Workers’ Compensation Insurance for
California Employers
What is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
Aside from workers’ compensation insurance being required by California law, this coverage serves two purposes.
- It protects employers from lawsuits arisen by workers that have been injured on the job.
- It assures that injured workers are compensated for medical care and income they’ve lost while they’re unable to work.
Workers’ compensation insurance protects your employees, and fulfills your statutory and legal obligations.
Who Needs Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
All employers with three or more employees are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance for all of their employees. This also includes minors and undocumented workers.

Thanks O’Kane & Tegay! I’ve been a happy customer for a few years and have always appreciated the good rates. I’m also very impressed with their friendly, quick and efficient customer service. I highly recommend you call or visit these guys if you need a new insurance policy or want a better rate and/or better service.
A friend of mine refered me to these guys for an event I was planning here in San Diego. Yes they are in San Francisco and I am in San Diego. I can not begin to tell you how easy this was. I dont understand insurance and I dont want to understand insurance. They helped me feel at ease from start to finish. Fast easy affordable. I never thought that existed when dealing with insurance before now. Great job and thanks for the help!
