Who Needs It?

In Florida, most non-construction employers with four or more employees are required to carry workers' compensation, and construction businesses generally need coverage with even one employee. Locally, we help:

  • Restaurants and hotels: coverage for kitchen injuries, slips, and burns in a tourism-driven service economy
  • Contractors and trades: roofers, electricians, plumbers, and builders meeting Florida construction requirements
  • Healthcare and eldercare providers: coverage for lifting injuries and workplace exposure risks
  • Retail and office teams: coverage for everyday workplace accidents
  • Landscaping companies: protection for equipment, heat, and outdoor hazards

If you are unsure whether Florida law requires coverage for your business, our agents can walk you through the rules in plain language.

What Does Coverage Include?

A typical workers' compensation policy helps pay for:

  • Medical treatment: doctor visits, hospital care, and rehabilitation for work-related injuries
  • Lost wages: partial wage replacement while an employee recovers
  • Employer liability: protection against many employee-injury lawsuits
  • Death benefits: support for families when a workplace accident is fatal

Florida generally requires workers' compensation for non-construction businesses with four or more employees and for construction companies with one or more employees. Requirements can vary, so confirm your situation with an agent.
