The simple answer is there is no such thing as a 1099 employee. An individual worker is either a W-2 employee or they are a 1099 Independent Contractor. Employees receive a W-2 from their employer each year and the employer pays taxes and benefits on their behalf. Workers' compensation is typically one of those legally required employee benefits. 1099 contractors receive a 1099 each year. They pay their own taxes and purchase their own benefits. They often need to get workers' comp too; however, coverage may be provided by a business they sub-contract with.
