Contact the WC carrier and file your claim, if you have been injured. While you sort this out, you don't want to miss the window in which you can file the claim. If you're saying the EMPLOYER doesn't have Comp - rather than saying YOU don't have Comp, contact an attorney - in fact, interview a few & compare. In many states, nicknamed "ladder states," even if you are an independent contractor, the company or person who hires you has to provide Comp if you don't have it, or remain liabile. They're called "ladder states" because liability goes up the ladder to the top guy. If you have not been injured, ask your agent about Occupational Accident coverage, which is very similar to Comp in benefits - but not exactly - and ask the company you work for why they want to list you as an independent contractor. Especially if you're in a ladder state. Your state board of insurance can help you determine if you're in a ladder state.

In the state of New York do I have to carry workmans comp for 1099 independent conractors Just because a company pays into WC for you doesn't make you an employee. Many states are "ladder states," meaning liability follows up the ladder until someone can pay. In Texas, General Contractors are required to carry Comp for their subcontractors (who are 1099 workers) who don't have it, or remain liable if they don't (since TX is the voluntary Comp state.) For New York, inquire of the NY State WC Board, 518.474.6670, but I think your answer is yes, if they don't have it.
