Essential Florida Commercial Insurance Types

Workers' Compensation Insurance

Required by Florida law for businesses with 4 or more employees. Protects against workplace injuries and provides medical coverage and wage replacement. Construction companies need coverage with just one employee, and specific exemptions apply for certain business owners.

Commercial Auto Insurance

Mandatory for all business-owned vehicles in Florida. State requirements include minimum $10,000 property damage coverage and $10,000 personal injury protection (PIP). Enhanced coverage recommended for commercial operations and employee vehicle use.

General Liability Insurance

Protects against customer injuries, property damage claims, and third-party lawsuits. Essential coverage for premises liability, product liability, and professional service exposures common in Florida's service-oriented economy.

Commercial Property Insurance

Critical protection against Florida's weather risks including hurricanes, flooding, wind damage, and severe storms. Covers buildings, equipment, inventory, and business property with specialized Florida windstorm and flood protection options.

Cyber Liability Insurance

Protects against data breaches, cyber attacks, and technology failures affecting customer information and business operations. Essential for Florida businesses handling tourist data, financial information, and digital transactions.

Business Interruption Insurance

Replaces lost income during covered property damage events including hurricane closures, storm damage, and weather-related business interruptions common during Florida's storm season and natural disaster events.

Professional Liability Insurance

Coverage for errors and omissions in professional services. Important for Florida's growing technology, consulting, and professional services sectors including healthcare, legal, and financial service providers.
