Is workers' compensation required in Florida?

For most employers, yes. Florida generally requires coverage for construction businesses with one or more employees and non-construction businesses with four or more employees (full- or part-time). Agricultural employers and some others have their own thresholds. We can help you confirm where your business falls.

What does workers' compensation cover?

It pays for medical care, a portion of lost wages while an injured employee can't work, disability benefits for long-term or permanent impairment, and death benefits to help surviving family members, for on-the-job injuries and occupational illnesses.

How are workers' comp premiums calculated?

Premiums are based largely on your industry classification, your payroll, and your claims history (experience modification). Because carriers and class codes vary, comparing several A-rated companies often surfaces meaningful differences in rate.

How can I keep workers' comp costs down?

Regular safety training, documented procedures, periodic workplace reviews, and accurate class-code and payroll reporting all help. A clean claims history lowers your experience modifier over time. We can connect you with carriers that offer loss-control resources.
