Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

Vending Business

My girlfriend owns a Vending business and I'm getting one of my own. If we were to combine the two and both work it would we need to get any type of workers comp?

Re: Vending Business

If you and your girlfriend are owners, I believe that the both of you are exempt from coverage (Check with different carriers to see what is available), but if you hire employees, workers' compensation insurance is a must as it is a state law requirement.

Now for an issue that you did not ask about.

When you enter into a business partnership, it is important to make sure that the business entity is properly formed. It is best to contact a business attorney to assist you. My area is workers' compensation, personal injury, wrongful death and sexual harassment.

Good luck with your new venture.
