Employment Practices Liability Insurance in Florida

People Risk is Real Business Risk

Coverage for Employment-related Claims

Employment practices liability insurance, or EPLI, helps protect Florida employers from claims tied to workplace issues. That includes allegations of wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or failure to promote. Even when a business does everything right, defending these claims can be expensive and time-consuming.


GM Insurance Underwriters works with Florida contractors, offices, and small businesses that want a stronger liability program around their employees. As teams grow, so does exposure, especially in industries with seasonal hiring or high turnover.

How EPLI Fits Your Broader Coverage

Part of a Complete Business Plan

EPLI doesn’t replace workers’ compensation or general liability. It handles a different category of risk that comes from employment decisions and workplace conduct. Most Florida employers carry EPLI alongside general liability, commercial property, workers’ comp, and cyber coverage for a well-rounded protection plan.


Because GM Insurance Underwriters is independent, we can compare carriers and show you how terms differ, including deductibles, defense structures, and optional third-party coverage for claims by customers or vendors.
