Do I need workers comp for my rental property

[Robert T.]

Hi,

I expect to be purchasing my first rental property in Florida in the next few months.   Will I need to get workers compensation insurance for it for whenever somebody does repairs at the property?   

What if the person who does repairs on it already has worker compensation insurance?  Should I get the insurance as well?  Also, will the cost of workers compensation insurance be cheaper if I only contractors that have their own insurance?

Thanks
