Re: Llc vs. Owner Operator

A Limited Liability Company adds an extra layer of legal protection. Nevertheless, if you are the driver and are in an accident, you will be sued. But, if you are not the driver, the LLC would be sued and you may POSSIBLY avoid personal exposure. In New Jersey, you may opt out of Worker's Compensation insurance for you in the LLC.

I have more information about LLC's and business entities on my web site:

I hope this helps!
