Can an employer force you to file a workers comp claim?

What is the benefit of worker compensation insurance?
Workers' Compensation Insurance is mandatory for all employers to carry and pay for in all states. (Exceptions for self-insured employers are made; this is another whole topic). Employees are NEVER required to pay any part of the premium for this coverage. It is the EMPLOYER that is 'covered' and the purpose is to protect employers from damages awarded in lawsuits that could conceivably put them out of business. Most workers' compensation laws, in each state, went into effect in the early 1800's, during the industrial revolution, when employees were suffering serious injuries and either 1.) receiving NO compensation at all, or 2.) being awarded compensation via the court systems which generally crippled the employers, thereby eliminating jobs and income for entire companies. States realized that provisions needed to be made that would protect the injured workers and their families, but enable employers to continue operating and providing employment and income. Each state has a department, bureau, commission, etc., that regulates the laws pertaining to workers' compensation. Each state also has a 'state fund', which will provide insurance coverage to employers, for a premium. Forty-eight of the states also have competition with private insurers; three states have 'exclusive funds', meaning only the 'state fund' provides WC coverage: Ohio, Washington, and West Virginia. This means that employers MUST purchase their coverage from the state fund or be self-insured. (They must, of course, show due diligence, showing themselves financially able to be self-insured.)
Does Fla condo need workmens comp insurance?
The answer is YES!
It is a misconception that if you have no "employees" you don't need workers comp insurance. If you have employees, i.e. a manager, maintenance workers, or anything of that sort you will need to secure a policy due to state regulations.
Even if you do not have anyone working for you, there are several companies that will sell you an "if any" policy for $621.00. The reason for this is should you have a sub-contractor on site (landscape, painting, etc.) and their insurance for some reason is cancelled or not effective, the injured worker could sue the association for his medical expenses and lost work time. The "if any" policy would respond at that point.
Given the current economic climate it is a good idea. Many contractors insurance is expiring due to non-payment and other deficiencies.

Are condo associations hiring repairs required to carry workmans comp insurance?
Even if a condo association does not have direct employees, there can still be potential situations where workers compensation coverage is beneficial. For instance, should an injury happen on site to a worker from the property management company or to a subcontractor, some states might hold the property owner (the condo association in this case) liable, despite the worker not being a direct employee of the association.
It's also worth bearing in mind how your property management company handles their own insurance. Some property management firms, like Daisy Property Management, ensure that all their staff and subcontractors are properly covered, giving peace of mind to the condo associations we support.
However, it's always beneficial to have a comprehensive review of your condo association's insurance portfolio completed by a licensed insurance professional to ensure there are no gaps in coverage. This should ideally be updated annually or when there are significant changes to the association's properties or operations.
If your employer does not carry Workmens Comp can you get your own individual policy?
In most states the employer MUST carry Workmens Comp. It's the law. Check with your local wage and hour or whatever it's called in your state.

On the other hand, if you're talking about health insurance, employers are not required to carry medical policies for employees but many employers do because it is a good way to keep valuable employees from seeking other employment.

Yes, because of the protection of HIPAA laws. However, unless the physician is approved by the WCI provider the claim can be legally denied if sufficient supportable evidence of injury is not provided.
In other words, a visit to the neighborhood chiropractor is not going to be deemed adequate medical proof for establishing a valid claim.

That is a decision made by your employer. If you are receiving benefit payments from Comp, the only deductions permitted by law are court ordered payments such as Child Support. If you have a co-pay or a benefit you want to keep, you should either make your premium payment to the company or authorize the Work Comp Carrier to deduct it from your check. Check with your HR department and find out how long you will have until they cease your benefits.
