Almost half of all plumbers report some form of occupational hearing loss caused by the nature of their job. Employees who work in construction, farming, military, and machinery are also prime targets for hearing loss.
To answer your question, yes, Florida employers are required to provide workers’ compensation insurance to their employees. According to Florida’s Division of Workers’ Compensation, plumbers are considered part of the construction agency. The law states that if employers of the construction industry have (1) or more employees (including themselves), then they are required to carry workers’ compensation coverage.
If you or a loved one has suffered occupational hearing loss, it is vital to contact a skilled work injury attorney who understands the intricacy of dealing with large insurance companies that have a knack for protecting their own interests, not the employee’s.
