Commercial Insurance Built for Florida
Florida's economy is driven by tourism, construction, real estate, healthcare, and international trade through its ports. Hurricane and flood exposure dominate property placements, and the state's litigation climate demands carefully structured liability programs.
Cory Washington & Co. LLC is licensed in Florida and places coverage for businesses across the state — from general liability and commercial property to specialty lines most generalist agencies never touch. We work as advisors first: strategy and risk analysis before placement, then negotiation across carriers that actually compete for Florida business.
Workers' Compensation in Florida
Florida requires workers' compensation for non-construction businesses with four or more employees; construction businesses must carry coverage with even a single employee.
Beyond the legal requirement, how a workers' compensation program is structured — classifications, experience mod management, payroll audits — directly drives what you pay. We review all of it before quoting. Requirements change; confirm current rules with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.
