Workers’ compensation laws are designed to protect workers who suffer a work-related injury or illness. In the state of Florida, these laws provide injured employees with medical benefits and wage replacement while they recover from their injuries. The Florida workers’ compensation system is administered by the Division of Workers’ Compensation within the Department of Financial Services.
To qualify for workers’ compensation benefits in Florida, an employee must prove that his or her injury was caused by a job-related activity or condition. This can include accidents at work, repetitive motion injuries, exposure to hazardous materials, and other workplace hazards.
In Florida, employers are required by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance coverage for all their employees. And under Florida law, workers who suffer an injury or illness due to their job may be eligible for financial assistance through the state’s workers’ compensation insurance coverage.
