Proprietors, limited liability company members, limited liability partners, and partners.

A proprietor, limited liability company member, limited liability partner, or partner who is actively engaged in the proprietor’s, limited liability company member’s, limited liability partner’s, or partner’s business on a substantially full-time basis may elect to be covered by the workers’ compensation law of this state by purchasing valid workers’ compensation insurance specifically including the proprietor, limited liability company member, limited liability partner, or partner. The election constitutes an assumption by the employer of workers’ compensation liability for the proprietor, limited liability company member, limited liability partner, or partner for the time period in which the insurance contract is in force. The proprietor, limited liability company member, limited liability partner, or partner shall accept compensation in the manner provided by the workers’ compensation law and the employer is relieved from any other liability for recovery of damages, or other compensation for injury.
