The Basics

What Montana workers’ comp is required to cover.

If you have employees in Montana, state law generally requires workers’ compensation coverage, whether through a private carrier, the state fund, or approved self-insurance.

Beyond the legal requirement, workers’ comp protects your business from lawsuits related to workplace injuries by providing a no-fault system: injured employees receive benefits regardless of who caused the accident, and in exchange generally can’t sue their employer directly.
