An employer can be liable for double compensation if a minor child is injured while employed in violation of any of the conditions of the child labor laws of Florida. The employer alone, not the insurance carrier, is liable for up to double the normal compensation as provided by the Workers’ Compensation Law. To receive further information regarding the Child Labor Law, call the Child Labor Office at (800)226-2536. • Reference: Section 440.
