The workers’ compensation insurance rates in Florida have seen many rate revisions over the last couple of years. We have been tracking those changes as you can see from these articles below:

• 2008 Workers Comp Rates
• Upcoming Workers Comp Rates
• January 1st, 2009 Workers Comp Rates
• Changes in 2009 Florida Work Comp Rates
• 2009 Workers Comp Rate Increase
• April 1st, 2009 Workers Comp Rates
• Workers Comp Rates Changing Again
• July 1st, 2009 Workers Comp Rates

We are expecting another upcoming change for January 1st, 2010, because Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty made an announcement that he has received a new rate filing from the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) for workers’ compensation insurance rates. The filing includes an overall average rate decrease of 6.8 percent statewide.

This is good news for landscaping businesses in Florida. “I am very pleased to receive another request for a reduction in workers’ compensation rates,” said Commissioner McCarty. “This is welcome news to Florida employers during these challenging economic times.”

Here is a link to the press release on the website of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.
