Protect Your Team and Your Business

If an employee gets injured on the job, Workers' Comp covers their medical bills and lost wages — and protects your business from lawsuits. In Florida, it's not optional for most businesses. Getting caught without it means fines, stop-work orders, and serious legal exposure.

Common Questions

Is Workers' Comp required in Florida?

Yes for most businesses. Construction businesses need it with 1 or more employees. Non-construction businesses need it with 4 or more employees. Agricultural businesses have different thresholds. If you're unsure whether you're required, contact us and we'll clarify for your specific situation.

What happens if I don't have Workers' Comp in Florida?

The Florida Division of Workers' Compensation can issue a stop-work order, shutting your business down immediately. You'll also face fines equal to 2x the amount you would have paid in premiums. It's one of the most aggressively enforced insurance requirements in the state.

Does Workers' Comp cover subcontractors?

It depends. If a subcontractor doesn't have their own Workers' Comp policy, you as the hiring contractor can be held liable for their injuries. Always get a certificate of insurance from every subcontractor before they step on your job site.

What injuries does Workers' Comp cover?

Any injury or illness that happens as a direct result of employment — on-site accidents, repetitive stress injuries, equipment-related injuries, and even injuries that occur while traveling for work. It does not cover injuries that happen outside of work duties.

How much does Workers' Comp cost in Florida?

Costs are calculated per $100 of payroll and vary by industry classification. A roofing contractor pays significantly more than an office worker. We shop multiple carriers to find you the most competitive rate for your payroll and industry.
