What if I get injured and my boss doesn’t have Workers’ Compensation coverage?

Every employer who fails to secure the payment of compensation as provided by Florida’s Workers Compensation Act may not in any suit brought against him by an employee for damages defend the suit on the grounds that the injury was caused by the negligence of the fellow worker or employee or that the injured worker assumed the risk in his employment and/or was comparatively negligent. The Florida Workers Compensation Act insulates an employer against suit for monetary damages under most circumstances where the employer is covered by Workers’ Compensation insurance.
